I need to identify a kind of bell flower?
that looks like foxglove to me... It is a biennial and deadly poisonous, keep it away from kids %26amp; pets... here is some more info http://www.ansci.cornell.edu/plants/digi...
Reply:this looks pretty much like what grow in my garden like a weed. I think they are a form of hollyhock but not sure. you could take a cutting to your local garden nursery and see if they know what it is.
Reply:Digitalis purpurea is correct.
Reply:This flower is called Foxglove or Digitalis purpurea. It comes in many colours and is gorgeous in the garden. It really is a biannual vs a perennial as the plant tends to bloom every second year.
Reply:They are foxglove... they attract butterflies and hummingbirds like crazy in my yard...
Reply:Here's a link to some Bellflowers. Hope it helps.
