Does anyone know of any use for the interestingly curved 'trunk' of
the giant echium that grows easily in West Cornwall. Also I read
today that a so called record 16 ft plant is in St Ives but I am sure
that I had one at least 6 metres (20 ft ) last year which I have some
young plants ready to flower next year.
Is there a height record for this mediteranean plant?

Not sure of the record, but thanks for the reminder. Just de-turfed a new
border and I think I have some seeds somewhere. Should cause a stir in Kent,
i've not seen any here yet.
