The stunted growth on this spanish foxglove (digitalis parviflora) is strange in and of itself because it hasn't been treated any differently than the other 11 I bought at the same time, from the same place. The rest of them are happily throwing flower stalks at least 2 feet in the air, while he's sulking.
The really weird part, though, is that he's still trying to put out little blooms in spite of not having a stalk to loft them high. One for the Weirdness Chronicles over at Garden Voices?

That is one very strange and sulky-looking foxglove. Could it be the soil? Perhaps there was a worm in the bud- that happened to one of my sunflower and prevented the large top bloom from forming.
