Just been out and measured the Echium. Is now 6ft 2ins tall. Bud stalks are getting longer and bigger.
Have got access to a ladder for any future measuring attempts?

Been out with the tape, and the echium is now 6ft 11ins. Not quite a foot since the last time. Must be the cooler weather here.

Aaaarrrggghhh, it's looking at us
Actually, I'm absolutely flabbergurgled at the size of it. Do passersby knock and ask you about it, Willpar ??
