Thank you, @p.young713. I would not recommend taking anything directly from any plant without having the proper training, understanding and experience. Otherwise, foxglove should be treated as a poinsonous plant if swallowed by a child or for that matter an adult and medical attention should be sought immediately.

Beautiful flower, I heard it was used as a heart medicine? But you have to be very careful it may be harmful, if to much is taken.
