The Foxglove is an incredible flower! It's specially designed to have a nice, attractive spotted runway for the bees to land on. Those little hairs keep other insects from getting in to the flower. They bloom from the bottom of the stalk and by the end of the summer, when the plants have grown up around it, the bees can still see the flowers because they are now blooming on the top of the stalk. Adaptation is amazing!!!
