ps visste ni att blomman på engelska heter Foxglove, rävvante, så gulligt att man kan dööö ju =)
Tydligen är ""Foxglove en förvrängning av Folksglove enligt den här sidan:
http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/f/foxglo30.html"The Foxglove derives its common name from the shape of the flowers resembling the finger of a glove. It was originally Folksglove - the glove of the 'good folk' or fairies, whose favourite haunts were supposed to be in the deep hollows and woody dells, where the Foxglove delights to grow. Folksglove is one of its oldest names, and is mentioned in a list of plants in the time of Edward III. Its Norwegian name, Revbielde (Foxbell), is the only foreign one that alludes to the Fox, though there is a northern legend that bad fairies gave these blossoms to the fox that he might put them on his toes to soften his tread when he prowled among the roosts.
