Foxglove

This is foxglove, at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. I can't have it in the house because of the cats (it's poisonous), so I have a pretty picture, instead!

Would cats actually try to eat it? Lots of gardens in my neighbourhood have foxgloves, and there are loads of cats around, and I've never seen any try to eat foxgloves - or any flower, come to think of it.

My cats have a tendency to chew on plants, and I wouldn't want to risk it.

That makes sense. I wonder if they'd have an instinct to avoid poisonous ones, but of course it wouldn't be worth risking it.
