    Hi, another plant that I thought was going to be a Foxglove, but i’m not so sure now. Could it be a Thistle?

    Sorry, it’s the correct way up on my phone!!!



    thanks

      Thanks, well what threw me off was the leaves have quite red veins. Not sure i’ve noticed that before. Also the way the flowers are forming isn’t something i’ve noticed either.

      Thanks,

      Will
