Solved A Visitor to Garden

Hi All. Noticed a small single plant growing amongst or is it among? the Campanula.Had to wait till it flowered before posting picture.
I got this feeling it is a cowslip but not sure.If it is not an invasive plant I wonder if I collected the seeds I can grow it. I can only think the birds must of dropped a seed and it has taken.
Thanks

 

I see, from a quick google search, that it is unlikely to be a cowslip since that has pronounced green tube like bases to the flowers.

Whilst I cannot say what it is, I wanted to post thanking you for the way you have phrased your thread, i.e. to call this plant a visitor rather than the normal dissing of plant or weed polarity. I am a naturalistic gardener and welcome most of nature's gifts to my garden.

 

Hi Trogre,

To me it looks like a Foxglove ( Digitalis ).

 

It looks like a cross between Foxglove and Canterbury Bells to me. Perhaps @longk can shed some light on it for us.

 

Hi Sheal

Its a stunted plant that managed to find the strength to flower even if only a couple of buds

 

It looks like a rather drippy specimen of the common Digitalis purpurea. Really it should have waited another year before flowering but it decided not to wait and this is the result. I have a couple like this one this year.

 

Thanks for your input,will save/try to save seeds and see what happens.
I do not think the specimen I got is going to grow any taller.
