What is the name of this Flower?

Posted at: 2014-09-26 
The flower shown in the image included with the question looks like a Purple foxglove (Digitalis purpurea). The color of the blooms can vary greatly plant to plant.

Foxglove, as the other poster said. Latin name Digitalis. The ones around here(Vancouver Island) are in bloom right now. I can see one from this desk. That one you show looks like a wild one, the wild ones being anywhere from almost white through pink to deep mauve like the one in your photo. They also come in cultivated varieties in a large choice of forms and colours

Definitely Foxglove, Latin name Digitalis.

Was found in Connecticut at West Rock Park...in case anyone was wondering.

Thanks again for the Answers!

The closest flower to this that I know of would be a purple gladiola (gladiolus)

Found this Beautiful flower while out for a hike on my lunch hour.

It was approx 5 1/2 feet tall and there weren't any others around it. It was standing alone in a field.

The spotting on the inside of the bells is quite unique.

Any help on figuring out just what this guy is would be appreciated,

Thanks in advance!
