Field Notes

Description:

Digitalis purpurea is an herbaceous biennial or short lived perennial plant. The leaves are spirally arranged, simple, 10-35 cm long and 5-12 cm broad, and are covered with gray-white pubescent and glandular hairs. The foliage forms a tight rosette at ground level in the first year.
The flowering stem develops in the second year, typically 1 to 2 m tall, sometimes longer. The flowers are arranged in a showy, terminal, elongated cluster, and each flower is tubular and pendent. The flowers are typically purple but some plants, especially those under cultivation, may be pink, rose, yellow, or white. The corolla is spotted inside the bottom of the tube. The flowering period is early summer, sometimes with additional flower stems developing later in the season.
The fruit is a capsule which splits open at maturity to release the numerous tiny (0.1-0.2 mm) seeds.

De nada. Las fotos son preciosas.
Muchas gracias Isabela, al parecer si es digitalis. No he podido actualizar fotos o datos por que no he tenido mucho tiempo :( El magister me esta consumiendo mucho tiempo... pero gracias por tu ayuda. Saludos.
