The Echium's Growth during 2005

This page has been written to illustrate the progress over a period of about 2 months of one of our Echium pininana.

The plants have self-seeded themselves for the last 4 years, and are now becoming invasive. They grow so quickly and lean towards the light that they shade many of the surrounding plants. Several have been relocated to a different part of the garden, where they cannot interfere so much with the surrounding plants.

The table below consists of a set of thumbnails. These have been ordered chronologically. Clicking on these thumbnails will cause a larger photo to be displayed in a new frame.
