I am a volunteer at the Caboolture Historical Village - which is just north of Brisbane, Queensland. It is a wonderful place full of the most extra ordinary history - and, I am pleased to say, a lovely garden.
Last week, when visitors from Bundaberg were in the Village - they asked about some flowers. I had no idea what they were called but took a photo and showed our head gardener, who identified them as Foxglove.
This plant is called a Purple Shield or Persian Shield. It is quite a beautiful plant.

Another visitor had asked about purple foliage (funny, really as I love purple and wear a lot of it and it is odd that the plants I have been asked about are purple...), under a sign near the railway station.This plant is called a Purple Shield or Persian Shield. It is quite a beautiful plant.
