I lived on #Tenerife from the end of 2004 till summer 2014. Yes, it is an amazing place. There are many more endemic species in the #Echium genus too. Here are three white ones. E. giganteum, E. simplex, E. aculeatum. @Echiumworld

@FClydeMuirshiel @StevePa46290725 @Echiumworld Thank you! Here are some photos of the Echium wildpretii before it finished flowering. It has gone to seed now.

Viper’s-bugloss. Always one of my favourites, but it’s gone up another notch since I discovered it has blue pollen 💙 #wildflower

@Echiumworld Even doing well on the coast here in east Scotland too!! About 2 metres already & still growing 😎👍

@rovingnick This plant has survived temps -8c here in East midlands this winter. Grown south facing in container against a wall. Amazing.

Echiums in flower

Vipers bugloss, Echium Vulgare is my number one plant for #pollinators. Look at the raindrop flowers. Today it became a #loveshack for a pairbb V of #scarlettigermoths! I’ve got a beautiful mauve strain of this amazing plant! It’s hardy, a biennial and it’s #native! #moths.
