    The "purple ones" are foxgloves, also known in olden times as fairy thimbles, scientific name "digitalis". The drug Digoxin, used for treating some heart conditions, is obtained from them. Despite their beauty they are poisonous.

    I think its digitalis called here in the Netherlands. Very toxic Bill.

    ...John and SC are correct about the first one, it is Digitalis or Foxglove. The second on is Alcea or Hollyhock.

    I also love the colour of the foxglove, which is growing here too but the hollyhock is not so common in the wild around us. Lovely photos, Bill!

    John is right, Foxglove it is! Very pretty to look at, not so good if ingested.

    I'm sure this has already been answered, but this is foxglove. It's also popular in gardens, not only as a wildflower. :D
