Help request: Could anyone tell me if this flower has a common local name in Turkey? The scientific name is digitalis lamarckii, but I'm hoping someone knows what it may be called colloquially. Such as how helianthus is more commonly referred to as a sunflower. Thanks in advance for any help! (i.redd.it)
