I Have A Grouping Of Yellow Foxgloves (digitalis Grandiflora) And Two Of Them Have Produced Flowers On Top Unlike The Typical Flow

Question

er. I can’t seem to find this strange flowering anywhere on line. Could it possibly have hybridized with another plant? I have had this grouping for a few years and this is the first time it has happened. One of the flowers (only the uppermost top of the plant) is larger than the second one that is next to it that also has a flower. All the same coloring just a different type of flower.
