Mid-Atlantic Gardening: June Pics Continued, 1 by bluespiral

Back in the 70's - early 80's, when our 22' well did not yield enough water for the garden, I discovered that foxgloves were one of the few plants I could grow in the beastly dry shade of a humongous Paulownia. It was shear serendipity that they found their way into my garden, since at the time I couldn't tell a petunia from a tulip. An elderly lady down the street handed me a handful of seedlings from her garden, the parents of which she said her daughter had brought up from North Carolina. It seems like the volunteers are the ones that tower over 6', and a beautiful forest they made for a few weeks this year. I think of her every June now when the foxgloves return and the bumble bees tumble about them.

These bloom in shades from white through blush to darker pinks to a deep red-purple - y'all let me know if you ever want any seeds.

Shirley - love the colors in your daylily 'Catherine Woodbury'. Attached is an image of a seedling I grew many years ago with those same colors, but with a green heart, blooming in late July - August, and very - wonderfully - fragrant.

To all and to anyone's post that may overlap mine - great thread - wonderful flowers
