Those are called foxgloves! We used to have a few of them in the botanical gardens near where I grew up.

I just want to quickly chime in that I think @maxg is correct with his identification! It sure looks a lot like a Digitalis purpurea / foxglove to me as well!

amazing flower, hard to get it, visit me @zp97

very beautiful flower

c'est très beau ya pas mieux que la nature

Nice picture and it's really awesome flower,,, but it's look like Eggplant....

unique .nice one.

This common bi-annual weed in North-West Europe is a childhood favorite of mine. But the Digitalis Purpurea (foxglove, indeed as perfectly identified by @maxg) is very toxic. So warn your children not to play with these flowers (tempting to put one on your fingers as a thimble - and in German it has that name "Fingerhut" - fingerhat). On the other hand it makes a powerful homeopathic medication for complaints of the heart. So a very special plant indeed! Having said all this to support everybody else's enthusiam for this photograph, it is most assuredly not indigo! (but cobalt violet).

So much info here...#Bless
