Kurt Jackson’s stunning new exhibition celebrates this beguiling and iconic wildflower.

“At the side of the path, on the ground amongst the ferns I see a scattering of pink foxglove tubes.

 

Up above me, standing looking down on me is a final flowering foxglove. Over two meters tall, the stalk is as knobbly as a line of vertebrae and lanky with just four bright flowers perched on the very top. It must have bloomed dozens of times over its three or four months of continual flowering, and now was on its last. It tottered, swayed in the breeze.

 

A bee landed on the pink petals causing the plant to bow down. The bumblebee, a carder bee, orange-brown and furry, disappeared inside the flower but the rattling buzz was audible as it tumbled around inside. When it took off and flew away, the plant once again sprang back, delicately balanced like a set of weighing scales.

 

I stood and drew the tall thin foxglove in its woodland setting beneath the ash trees. Was this my last flowering foxglove of the year? Around her feet next year’s plants were growing, bunched crowns of green leathery leaves. ” – Kurt Jackson
