Well, mine didn't look anything like that. Maybe I'll just pitch my seed and take you up on some of those giants LOL!

Well done Lil on such beautiful and very large plants!

Mine have decided that dwarfism is an attractive life option this year making just 10" tall, the flower spikes are just opening this week.

lol baa, dunno what happened, i didn't give them any special treatment, they must just like the soil here i guess..

What type of foxglove is that? Maybe you made the worlds record?

Durham, United Kingdom(Zone 8a)

digitalis purpurea.. maybe i did make a record, how would i find out?

Sorry to disappoint but while you definitely do have a very tall foxglove (av height being 4-5ft), some have been known to reach over 8ft tall. It all depends on the variety.

How large do the Pam's Choice get? Any clues

About 4-5ft on average Mimi, although I know of someone who claimed her's got to 9ft tall.

Wow, wonderful pic. Is that Berberis to the left?

Durham, United Kingdom(Zone 8a)

to the very lest is a small berberis, but i think you're looking at the eucalyptus maybe?
