Like lilacs and lupines, they do seem to like the Adirondack soil.

This plant is your friend if you have heart problems. Digitalis is used to control atrial fibrillation. But don’t try and self-medicate this plant can make you pretty sick if you eat it. There are probably new better drugs for this anyway.

They are beautiful plants. I have lots of it near a camp I have in the same general area as this picture.
