![Aboon the English Rose In Scotland grows a warlike flower,
Too rough to bloom in lady's bower;
His crest. when high the soldier bears,
And spurs his courser on the spears.
O there it blossoms - there it blows
The thistle's grown aboon the rose.

![Foxglove's Deathly Pink (highly toxic) [HDR] This lovely pink summer foxglove is highly poisonous. The toxins in the smaller leaves can cure heart rithm disorders or.. start one when incorrectly used. Don't try that at home!
(Watch the movie Poisoned plants and scroll to 06:50 minutes, never knew that fact)
"Symptoms of Digitalis poisoning include a low pulse rate, nausea, vomiting, and uncoordinated contractions of different parts of the heart leading to cardiac arrest and finally death."
In the middle ages the foxglove was counted among the witches' toolset. And I really mean witches.
Wow, and it grows in many a garden:) Welcome to the pleasure dome!

![A farmer's sweet Jasmine [HDR] A farmer's Jasmine we call it here in the Netherlands.
A shrub (in our case old enough to be reckoned tree-ish) so abundant in flowers this time (june) of year, its truly an amazing showcase. The subtle fragrant smell alone makes you want to read with a good glass of single malt. Hey, now that's an idea, I just might do that:..
