The colourful flowers are even more welcome when the skies are grey as earlier in the summer (is that the right word?) with rhododendron. They cheer us up. Bog asphodel's small and beautifully formed flowers have one thing in common with foxglove despite differences in colour and size and many other things. They have the raceme character - flowers start to open from the bottom and new ones appear at the top.
This one has the densest flower cluster, so packed together that you think there are no stalks. All face the same way sometimes four and even five across with spent ones below and new just about to open at the top.
