    Several years ago my son gave my wife a small pot of Foxgloves for Mother's day. They die every autumn but seed. The seeds apparently fall in front of the plant so it moves a little and multiplies every year. It started back by the stone and I expect that next year they will be all around the stone in front of them. That said, they are beautiful plants and I love the name.

        Foxgloves are one of my favourites too; Mrs C won't let me grow them, says they are poisonous.

        Foxgloves seemed very popular at this years Chelsea flower show.

        I didn't see Hollyhocks anywhere at CFS
