2 Colours

This Foxglove plant has 2 different colours. Has this happened before to this plant.
Is it rare?

Welcome to the forum!

I think it is unusual rather than rare to get bi-coloured foxgloves. In fact, I think you can buy bi-coloured foxglove seeds so maybe this is a rogue one from someone's garden? Birds tend to drop seeds.
