Corncockle is quite an unusual name for such a lovely little bloom.<br />Condolences to Dave on his uncle’s passing as it is a difficult time not being able to share this sorrow with family. We also had a family passing last week when Grenville’s aunt died in CT. Any life celebration will be delayed until all can safely gather at some unknown date.Beatrice P.

I know -- that NAME!<br /><br />Ms Moon: I think someone's been watching too much Creature Feature!<br /><br />Beth: I think planting plants or trees is a great way to memorialize people, don't you?<br /><br />Ellen: Yeah, it seems the seeds were pretty consistently apricot, purple and white.<br /><br />Edna: That rare plant really blew my mind!<br /><br />Catalyst: Who needs that stinkin' vampire virus?! LOL<br /><br />Linda Sue: I know foxgloves go nuts up where you are. Kind of like teasels, right? Here they are not only cultivated but hybridized into all kinds of colors and patterns.<br /><br />Robin: Thanks for the condolences. I haven't seen that name spam yet. Not that I care what the "true meaning" of my name is! LOL<br /><br />Allison: Yeah, I moderate everything on posts older than five days.

I had the vampire one awhile back, and now and getting the one about the true meaning of my name. I hate comment moderation, but sometimes it seems like it's necessary. Nice foxgloves.

Condolences to all who loved him.<br />That is one crazy spam comment. We keep getting offers in our spam comments to know the true meaning of our names. Who wastes their time with this stuff? I have no idea.

I had never seen a foxglove before, felt like ALICE, expecting them to burst into song at any moment. They grow readily here, like dandelions.I am surprised that they would be cultivated. Still pretty cold here, usually we have weather similar to yours, but the UK seems to have totally sprung forward. <br />I would SO take that vampire offer into consideration about now.

I'm so glad you both were able to attend the service at least via phone video. Your plants are awesome! Imagine, a rare plant! It will be interesting to see if you can grow more from the seed. Those foxgloves are just beautiful.

One of my favorite flowers. Speaking of flowers planted in a pot my friend Kay lost her brother on Memorial Day and I also planted some seeds in a pot for him. <br /> I am so sorry to hear of Dave's uncle. Please give him my condolences. Hugs to the three of you.
