My Echium seedlings

                            🌿 My tiny Echium seedlings 🌿
 
                   Just for comparison with Jess's Echium seedling !

Once you've been successful with Echiums , they will seed themselves around , although it does seem like they will only grow where they choose to grow .

Here's a slightly bigger one that had really got going and then was bashed down by the gales a few weeks back .....or maybe got flattened by someone bombing about on his ride on lawn mower .

                                                            🚜

I guess it really shouldn't have chosen to grow right on the edge of the bed , but there you are !

                              It looks like it should right itself .....hopefully .

Jess's Echium Seedling Update

Last Winter my daughter's friend gave me some interesting seedlings . 

This one survived !

I do have a few Echiums in my garden , but none as big as this one . 

It must be another variety .

It is in a rather exposed place in the Keyhole bed , where I grow my Pumpkins and Butternuts . I hope it will survive the coming Winter storms ...and we get really bad ones !  ⛈️⛈️⛈️

 I can't wait to see it put up it's flower spire . If it makes it  .... it is going to be magnificent !  

           It's been dry for a while , looks like rain on the way . The garden needs it .
