  1. Foxglove, also known by its scientific name Digitalis, holds a special place in folklore where it is often called the fairy’s glove. In traditional stories, the tall stems are imagined as perfect hiding places or tiny homes for fairies. #foxglove #fairies fairyland.blog/post/8105089324

  3. Today I’m taking you to my mother’s garden. It’s a very colorful place, with many various flowers. This one, foxglove, is quite interesting because I saw the same species in New Zealand a few years ago - one day I will post it. But for this one I like its color more - and no, I didn’t have to enhance it in any way, it is truly that beautiful pink-purple mix. Enjoy! 🌷

  5. A Foxglove which has seeded itself next to our Lemon Verbena and is currently growing up the middle of it.

    The white-haloed black dots on each flower are thought to help guide bees inside to boost pollination.

    Lemon Verbena leaves smell amazing if you rub them between your fingers - like a mix of lemongrass and eucalyptus.

  6. Two massive data centres are being planned for the outskirts of Edinburgh. Each one would emit more than 200,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions. That’s roughly the same as all the emissions from Edinburgh Airport.

    Nectar guides on #flowers don’t lessen the time spent ‘on flower’ by #bees locating #nectar compared to ‘unpatterned’ flowers, but rather improve foraging efficiency by improving landing position and guiding bees to take-off!

  10. A poor, depressed bumblebee trying to kill itself with poison. At least that's the way I see it. Rather sad, but still beautiful

  11. Fed up with my ugly fence. So I’ve #recycled an old bit of wood and #painted a #foxglove . Need to give it a varnish before popping up outside. I love foxgloves and now I can have them in the garden all year round . #gardendecor #gardening #gardendesign #gardenart #garden

  12. Lovely evening on the #CommunityAllotment with lots of plant swaps with folk on neighbouring plots.. we have acquired #peppers #sunflowers #kale #broccoli and #cornflowers and passed on #jostaberry and #blackberry cuttings #lungwort #foxglove #marrow and some of the #cornflowers 😀🌱❤️ #gardening #permaculture #CompanionPlanting

  13. Been a particularly chaotic couple of weeks at work so just spent the afternoon doing some therapeutic #gardening on the #CommunityAllotment Potted up lots of wildflowers that had self seeded mostly #foxglove #teasel #lungwort #yarrow and also potted up some #jostaberry cuttings that had rooted well. Most will be given away through our #CommunityFridge but some of the flowers are going to our local museum #TheFolly who are creating a medicinal garden 🌱😀❤️

  14. US spy-tech firm Palantir was a shoo-in for a multi-million-pound NHS contract months before the deal was signed, emails obtained by openDemocracy appear to show.

    The email exchange from 2020, in which senior #NHS executives discussed the budget for a new national data platform, sees more than one person referring to #Palantir as the recipient of the funding.
