Foxglove
Digitalis
is a genus of about 20 species of herbaceous perennials, shrubs, and
biennials commonly called foxgloves. This genus was traditionally placed
in the figwort family Scrophulariaceae, but recent phylogenetic
research has placed it in the much enlarged family Plantaginaceae. This
genus is native to western and southwestern Europe, western and central
Asia, Australasia and northwestern Africa. The scientific name means
"finger-like" and refers to the ease with which a flower of Digitalis
purpurea can be fitted over a human fingertip. The flowers are produced
on a tall spike, are tubular, and vary in colour with species, from
purple to pink, white, and yellow. The best-known species is the common
foxglove, Digitalis purpurea. This biennial plant is often grown as an
ornamental plant due to its vivid flowers which range in colour from
various purple tints through various shades of light gray, and to purely
white. The flowers can also possess various marks and spottings
Herbaceous Perennial Plant
A
herbaceous plant is a plant that has leaves and stems that die down at
the end of the growing season to the soil level. They have no persistent
woody stem above ground. Herbaceous plants may be annuals, biennials or
perennials. Annual herbaceous plants die completely at the end of the
growing season or when they have flowered and fruited, and they then
grow again from seed
Anemones
Anemone
is a genus of about 120 species of flowering plants in the family
Ranunculaceae, native to the temperate zones. It is closely related to
Pulsatilla and Hepatica; some botanists include both of these genera
within Anemone

Tulipa Ballade
Tulip
is a widely grown and highly admired flowering plant. There are over
100 species of tulip and many hybrid cultivars. They're a very common
garden flower, for both borders and containers and they make good cut
flowers too. Tulips grow from bulbs and flower in the springtime. They
can grow up to nearly 30 inches in height. The flowers are either cup or
star shaped, with three or more petals. There are many different
coloured tulips, some are variegated. The leaves are tall and narrow, a
bluey green colour with a waxy coating. Tulips have long been associated
with The Netherlands where they are cultivated on a large scale. The
brightly coloured tulip fields bring in tourists from all round the
world
Peony Coral Charm
Paeonia
is a genus of gorgeous flowering plants, grown for their large showy
flowers. Depending on the species they can be between half a metre and
five metres in height. They add a dramatic effect to the garden. They
have pretty lobed leaves with pointed tips and fluffy looking flowers
with lots of petals. Some species have flowers up to a foot across. They
come in a range of colours, pink, red white or yellow. The nectar of
the peony is present on the outside of the flower buds which can attract
ants, they aren't harmful to the plant though. The peony is very
popular in traditional Japanese artwork
