This is a busy shot, but I stopped to snap a photo because the tenacity of this *Digitalis purpurea* (w.wiki/BZzz) caught my eye 👀

The main stem broke, bending toward the ground, but the plant was like, "Nope, I'm not done yet," and it grew back up toward the sun.

The world may break you. Be like a plant 💜

That lovely plant is what digitalis is distilled from. A tea of its roots will kill you.
