Spreading its wings near the ground, warming up in the morning sun.

Pictured mid-April, with the leaves already showing signs of the beginning of wear and tear.

Hanging down like a curtain from the boughs of the cultivated climbing plant.

Common in hedgerows locally. The notched petals are a sure sign of this species.

Jack by the hedge growing so abundantly that it looked like a low hedge.

Shady spots preferred. These foxglove flowers were the first I noticed this year, by a hedge in Leasowes, Halesowen.
