That's a great picture of the foxglove flowers, @erikaflynn! Almost all of the articles I've read about cases of foxglove poisoning (and there are a lot of them), happened from plants in gardens, not out in the wild. It's so easy for someone to be too casual about the picking -- or for a friend or family member to help in the garden, but not take the same care in picking. At least Comfrey and Foxglove flowers are a lot different! That's not the case for some other kinds of edible wild plants that get confused with toxic ones. Thanks for being bold enough to answer my mystery question -- and helping me make my point about the Foxglove!
