Fantastic Foxglove - Happy Earth Day!
Foxglove is gorgeous, but all parts of it are poisonous!
I photographed these flowers at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden in Dallas, TX.
Yes, I love this place and I am a member and go there about once a month now.
Do you see the ladybug in one of these photos?
Have a Blessed Day!
Here is some information on Foxglove.

Absolutely delightful post @violetmed. This is wild. I stand in awe of our Creator to make such a colorful plant to be poison as if a warning. That lady bug has no problem going right inside but for us all parts of the plant are poison. This plant should be renamed as "temptation".
Haha, maybe so!
Poisonous?? I had no clue! They are so gorgeous with the spots :) And whenever I see them I see big, fa bumblebees trying to get inside.
Yes, perfect flowers for bees!
I see ;) looking for a shade under the white flowery umbrella, probably grabbing something to bite :)
Happy Earth day @violetmed.
Bingo, you found it! Happy Earth Day to you!!
Finally I found the ladybug, but it took several views. Foxglove is so beautiful but so deadly. Is this the plant that digitalis is made from? Wish we could grow them. Just a little too warm. Great photographs. 🐓🐓
Thank you @mother2chicks and yes digitalis is made from foxglove! The botanical name for foxglove is Digitalis purpurea.
Also here is an upclose view of the ladybug.
