yeah thanks Julio,it's one flowers(plant) that i know since i was a kid,we played whith them making sounds,if you smash a close flower in your hand, it produce a very higth sound,like a shoot:)but the old people allways said to us that it was toxic,not to eat
thanks daniele for the id,and brandon i put another shot and the things i read in a plant guide that i consulted now:-)
any extra information on this spotting such as plant height, whether in a garden or wild? It really looks like a Fox Glove Flower. Without more information it will be hard to ID. :-D Great shots btw!!
