TOYIN’

Foxgloves

They call you Foxgloves

Also known as Lady’s Gloves

Very beautiful.

Yet you are so dangerous.

Enjoy the view, but don’t eat!

“Dangerous Gloves” – an original TANKA by the HitchHiker inspired by unknown flowers amongst the forest of ferns in our yard. When I looked them up, I discovered the floral source of the heart medication digoxin, but also poisonous if ingested!
