Flower ID
« on: July 24, 2011, 12:49:01 PM »
Got up at 3:30 so I could head into the wood in the dark. Made it to the top of the hill just as the sun was peaking over the horizon. 10 miles on the mountain bike by 11am. 


What is this flower called?  There were tons of them up there.

Thanks guys.  I looked them up and sounds like a very nasty plant to have running wild here in Washington.  I hope the wildlife are not eating them.

It is also an important pharmaceutical - Digitalis is both the genus of foxglove, and the heart medication made from it.  Used to treat cardiac arrhythmia and congestive heart failure.
