✿Echium✿
Scientific Name: Echium candicans
Also known as Vipers Bugloss
I came across purple echium on my walk near the ocean in San Diego CA
& Lots of it!!
The name echium comes from the Greek, ‘echis’, ‘viper’.
& the plant is said to repel venom and hence to cure snakebite. Ironic? I think not!
Echium is also one of the tallest flowers reaching heights of 6- 8 feet!! It can be invasive though and is super hard to get rid of because you have to dig up the roots, which can be as deep as they are tall!!! Crazy
Thanks For viewing! `
