Foxgloves

This stunning flower is a delight to hummingbirds and other pollinators, who seek nectar in its tubular, bell-shaped flowers. It grows wild in our young, sunlit forests although foxglove is originally from Europe. Though they are lovely to look at, these flowers are poisonous to touch and can cause nausea or even cardiac arrhythmia in humans. In fact, their impact on the heart is so powerful, they’re used in certain heart medicines.
