Spots

Melbourne, Australia

The beautiful foxglove, but the spots are probably a warning sign..
The entire plant is toxic (including the roots and seeds).
Early symptoms of ingestion include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, wild hallucinations, delirium, and severe headache.
Remarkable is that extracts from the leaves, is used as a medication for heart failure.

Foxgloves are so lovely, so reminiscent of an English country garden. V
