Heart Attack!

digitalis We can thank this tall very colorful flowering plant that grows all over the place for saving many a life because of its medicinal value – this is where digitalis comes from.  But a word of warning:  DON’T EAT THE PLANT!  You’re more than likely die from a heart attack.  Funny how that works . . .

This one was growing on the roof of my apartment building in a clod of dirt.

This is interesting indeed. Your post was worthy pondering deeper. I was inspired by the flower's medical value. The beauties of nature always serve in the guard of physical world, meanwhile the fine arts frequently lack that feature of beauty
