Flower Meanings: Foxglove Symbolism

Flower Meanings – Foxglove: A dear friend and I brought a foxglove home. We just bought it because it was cool looking. Little did we know the thing was utterly enchanting. And I mean that on many levels. Firstly, it was intoxicating for bees.This is big juju in my book, because I believe bees are a sign of productivity, teamwork, and successful projects. Given my mindset, imagine how thrilled I was to see the foxglove enticing all those lovely bees, and reminding me of good connections/success! Rock on!

The foxglove was also enchanting for its sheer beauty. I sat on the front porch admiring the thing for hours. It just captured my attention, and held me spellbound. I mean, it’s an impressive flower system, and I just couldn’t take my eyes off it.

Flower meanings aren’t just about the flower – they’re also about the energy they attract. The bees were awesome, but when I saw the hummingbirds flock to the foxglove, I was over the moon with excitement! Hummingbirds remind me of my energy, and they also encourage productivity. That summer had me producing a lot of new articles for this website. I believe I have foxglove to thank for that. Why? Because of her charm. She lured in bees, hummingbirds, and good energy. She made it easier for me to give, produce, connect and be engaged.

I did some research into the flower meanings of foxglove. I read a lot of sources. I love Ted Andrews. His book, Nature Speak describes the foxglove as a kind of magnet for fairies. Andrews’ even refers to this plant as a “Faerie Lantern”. So cool! Maybe the fairy connection is true. I don’t know. But I wouldn’t be surprised. The plant itself seems rather magical and imbued with fairy dust to me. Was it foxglove fairies that got my rear in gear, and helped me write dozens of new articles on the website that summer? Not sure. But I’d like to think so.

Foxglove reminds us that it is totally OK to raise our goodies high for inspection. When it comes to good work, and grand achievement – we don’t have to be modest. Take a look at a foxglove in bloom.
