Digitalis (3)


Pertinax

I know how much Lost Warrior likes bees -so -here is my closeup shot to show the mottling inside the Digitalis (foxglove) with a passing worker..

 

Previous blog and gallery entries relate to this plants use as a cardiac medicine in ancient and modern times (digoxin-as now is ) to slow the heart down and allow the valves to clear all fluid away and rest momentarily ..get it wrong of course and the heart is stopped.

lol is this a joke on my new tat? (which seems to be healing btw)

 

Excellent picture. I was (relatively) unaware of the uses for foxglove.

 

The white version of this plant grows wild at my dad's.
