Echium (sea holly relative) - don't know species/variety

Are you sure about Echium, Kay? I associate that with the very tall spires
of flowers we see in e.g. Tresco or sheltered gardens here. I thought it
was Eryngium.

Sea holly is a species of Eryngium (some people expand the term to the
whole genus), so I think we can assume that Echium was a thinko for
Eryngium.

I expect so. So much for me trying to be tactful!
