    By saving and patenting the seed of my deformed Foxglove, that's how! Maybe not...:)

        Fear not, I like it when this happens:blue thumb: Best thing about the common Foxgloves in my opinion.

        Two flaws to your plan;

        a] it's not uncommon. I believe that it's a form of facilation (spelling?).
        and
        b] the seeds would revert meaning that you'd have to give everyone their money back!

            I would pay a quid for seeds from that if you could just make it do it again..

              I think its brilliant. It looks like its mutated into some angry beast which has lost its temper.

                I think that foxglove is aspiring to be an orchid but got stuck :heehee: Typical "drama queen" stock you have there :roflol:

                I love it! :thumbsup:

                You wouldn't have to give everybody their money back if you took yourself off to some 'coreign funtry' where nobody knew you :)
