Foxglove flower, detail
From the same plant which features as the top picture in the previous post.
Moving in closer brought out the beauty of the individual flower. Taking the picture contre jour has thrown a silhouette of the internal parts of the flower.

Foxgloves flowering
A foxglove pictured early one morning, half silhouetted against the sky.
Growing wild amongst grasses in front of a bindweed-covered fence.
This one is pictured by twilight on an evening when the badgers didn’t come out to play.

Thistle, flowers about to open
Three views of the same plant. Even the flower buds are spiky on some thistles!
