Worth a long wait
I thought you may be interested to see a photo of my Echium pininana. It was a small plant that I bought from Quex Gardens and planted four years ago. It pays to be patient as this year it’s flowered for the first time and has produced four stems that are still heading skywards. It’s been a real bee magnet as well but such a shame that the plant will then die. I’ll save seed and hope for another display like this in four years' time! Steve Holmes, Dartford, Kent
