Yellow Foxglove

 Digitalis grandiflora

Digitalis comes from the Latin word digitus which means finger.  Each flower is shaped somewhat like the finger of a glove.  Rarely troubled by pests or deer, foxgloves provide beautiful long-lasting cutflowers.  They are great in cottage and woodland gardens, in the back of borders, and against buildings, walls, or fences. Foxglove attracts butterflies and hummingbirds.
