Carrie, here's the link for the Scutellaria ovata (Heartleaf Skullcap) http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/69048/. Looks like I'll have to add my picture to PF, I think the ones that are posted are wrong and are actually Scutellaria incana, another nice plant but the foliage isn't as pretty.

Candyce, tell Anna she's one lucky lady with those rocks! I think I'm going to have break down and buy some - the rocks here in VA stink :( I've got half a dozen that I hauled home from Maine in January - my son had helped build a rock wall last fall and knew where there were a few leftovers - he dug through a 6' tall snowbank to get them for me! Told me if I could make it back before snowfall this year he would fill the whole van for me :) Your Foxglove looks healthy! I have them in the gardens and they're just about bloomed out for the year. If I deadhead them I can usually get one more blooming out of them although they're always smaller. This is a terrible picture - I waited way too long to take it. Last month the flowers were beautiful, tall and straight, like this picture: Digitalis parviflora 'Milk Chocolate' http://www.vanbloem.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=PLANTS.plantDet... but now they're just about done and curling over. I had several of these but was only able to keep one sickly one alive before planting last year and never saw blooms. Finally blooming this year and I've got to remember to collect some seeds so I'll have more!
