Another interesting fact about foxglove, they are made into a medication called digitalis, which is given to persons with congestive heart failure. My dad died from congestive heart failure, and was just started on digitalis, so did not have time to fully recover. He died in his sleep. Also the fact that it is poisonous to dogs, makes it a plant that you may not want to plant in your garden if you have any dogs. Nice to know these important things about what these plants can do, both beneficial and not. Thanks for sharing this controversial flower, Elizabeth, as people should know what they are dealing with when they plant things around their houses. Your lovely piece of art from your portfolio of beautiful artistic pieces, has been chose to appear as a feature on the homepage of the Wisconsin Flowers and Scenery Group of Fine Art America. I am proud that you have chosen to be a member of our family of friends and fine artists. You will be featured more than most groups feature works, as I change up and work on my homepage each and every day. It is an honor to have you as an active member of our group. Thanks for sharing your lovely pieces of artwork with us.
