Aren't plants wonderful. Despite all the cold and wet weather we have had for what seems like an eternity. Echium wildpretii is flowering. We decided to stake it as we have had very strong winds.

Worth the effort, looks great (would have been very cross making to have it fall over at its moment of triumph!)

Great flower. Worth staking, would be a shame for it to be blown over or worse snapped.

It has grown taller and has more flowers.

Some difference to the size of them in habitat, on Tenerife most seemed to be 3-4 feet (going by the spent flower spikes)

And the show goes on.

Looks even better now. So how tall would you guess it is?

Chris, I would guess that it is at least 12ft if not 14ft.
