Seeing these Digitalis makes me curse even more for not seeding anew last year and shall miss their freckly faces. Much of this info was new to me and thanks for the Baker reference.

In Germany it's most commonly called "red thimble" (roter Fingerhut), but it has many other fanciful names as well. I'm always amazed to encounter this exotic looking flower in the forest.

I lost a lot of my seedlings so won't have as many as I'd hoped this year, but bought seed to make sure I have lots next.
