To all my friends....Our intention is to fill up Facebook with flowers to break the saturation of negative images and videos. If you like this post, I will choose a flower for you so you can share it too! Thanks Nanhi Singh and Meenu Iyer for choosing foxglove for me. I remember we had the yellow variation and I would pop it to hear the sound. Today, I learned the legend that surrounds the name. Also have painted this during my childhood. Today I love the colours!! The name is a very ancient one. Legend goes like this - The folks of our ancestors were the fairies and nothing is more likely than that the pretty coloured bells of the plant would be designated folksgloves, afterwards, foxglove. In Wales it is declared to be a favourite lurking-place of the fairies, who are said to occasion a snapping sound when children, holding one end of the digitalis bell, suddenly strike the other on the hand to hear the clap of fairy thunder, with which the indignant fairy makes her escape from her injured retreat.
