    My cousin has sent me this photo and asked what it is, she's been told Penstemon but looks like foxglove to me. The colour is yellow. FB_IMG_1655713134051.jpg

        No expert in foxgloves but it looks like Digitalis grandiflora to me!

              Digitalis lutea, yellow foxglove. A short lived perrenial here if flowering shoots trimmed off soon after flowering. I leave one shoot cut in half for seed.
