Foxglove (Pentstemon cobaea) as seen highlighted with late afternoon sunlight ... note the orange flags in the far background that mark this road for expansion; all the lovely native plants will be destroyed. I am trying to save them in photos.

A Foxglove (Penstemon cobaea) bloom which is large and is pollinated by large bees which need to crawl inside the corolla tube. That is why the filaments of the four stamens are curved and rigid in order to prevent the corolla tube from collapsing. The long style sticks out past the lip of the corolla.
