This was in a bouquet of flowers a friend gave me from her garden.

I haven't the slightest idea what it is!

 

UPDATE 25 Feb 2021: Digitalis x 'Honey Trumpet'

Dificult to pin down the genus given only a picture of the (lovely) flowers -- my nod goes to something in the "old" Scrophulariaceae. That would include Digitalis, but also a number of related genera.

I think that is what it is, like Birna said "digitalis".

 

PlantsFoxgloves→Foxglove (Digitalis 'Honey Trumpet')

Careful though: "flowers and leaves are highly toxic, and this plant should not be grown in areas frequented by children."

Oh Bernard ! {me laughing}......I photograph EVERYTHING !!!

 

Cadmium, I think you have found the ID. It does indeed seem to be a yellow foxglove. I am not at all familiar with yellow for foxgloves. It's true I mostly know the wildflowers, and wild foxgloves are mostly pinkish spotted flowers.

 

I will pursue this Honey Trumpet flower for my ID.

 

Thank you to everyone for their input.


 

Notes

 

Antirrhinum: The open "butterfly" snapdragon flowers are erect, and the open end doesn't look like this.

 

Brugmansia: Couldn't find any which looked like this at all.

 

Digitalis obscura: Seems to be the wrong colour (reddish-orange more on the red side) and have the wrong inside patterning (dark red streak).

 

Digitalis grandiflora: Does have the internal veining, but again the colour is too pale.

 

Digitalis lutea: Seems to be too pale of a yellow and have too large a lower lip.

 

Xera Nursery originated the Digitalis x 'Honey Trumpet' plant. Rather, their bees did.
