NOW----ahem.....

I want to show you what has become of my South African Foxglove----

It is bizarrely branched out and at least 7' tall. Nothing pretty about it!
I think--all it has going for it are those delicate, lavender blooms.
By now--I can barely reach them! BUT--Still--every day--there are these huge bees sopping up whatever
nectar there is at the base of the blooms--NOT inside the blooms themselves...

I am also, by now, gathering the dries seed-pods daily.
They SOOO freely just drop their seeds if you even just brush your finger at them!
I use small scissors to cut the pods off--holding a bowl-shaped receptacle just below it...

I am sure, by now, 100's of seeds have fallen in this tiny bed. UGH!

Here is what the TWO plants look like tonight. it was a bit dark already....
