Purple Foxglove
For over 200 years the foxglove has been used to strengthen the heart.
Dead Man's Bells, Witches' glove, Bloody Fingers are all names for the foxglove.

There are many stories as to how the name foxglove originated. One tells of naughty fairies who gave the blossoms to foxes to wear on their feet, to muffle the sound of their footfalls when out hunting for rabbits and such. Cool!

It may be the legend but these have always looked "beautifully" dangerous to me....like Delilah maybe.
