I love the word digitalis – there is something poetic about it. Useful substance for some things, very deadly when misused. Think I may have first come across it in fiction in Agatha Christie, or something like that 🙂

Poetic yes, Tasha. Also one of those poisons that has its uses as a medicine, like Aconite and others.

I’ll be watching out for those symptoms, we have so many foxgloves in the garden… I have heard of xenophobia, but didn’t know the antonym! ~Liz http://www.lizbrownleepoet.com

Foxgloves are so beautiful and yet have that other side. Symptoms are one of many clues…and also some are red herrings. As for the new words, I learnt a lot.
