Or how about heather flower....kind of a scotland link that way. Or how about a sky pilot? It's hardy, perennial and takes a dedicated person to find.

    here's a picture:



    Here's Foxglove (stops yer heart if you indulge too much):

    NO WAY! I would never pick my Foxglove or Belladonna from my garden. As for the dandelions, i just let them grow where they are... unless they are not supposed to be there.. I than get down on my knees and pull them up... than again they taste pretty good with some bacon!!!
