Digitalis ferruginea Rusty Foxglove flower opening time lapse.
Filmed by Neil Bromhall for www.rightplants4me.co.uk
Filmed over a period of 3 days.
You can see the stamens ripening. When the flower has been fertilised it closes up as there's no further need to attract pollinating insects.
The Rusty Foxglove has smaller and hairier flowers compare to the native wildflower Foxglove Digitalis purpurea.
Both these flowers are a valuable food plant for bees
