Is there a red echium? I saw a plant with a dramatic inflorescence that
looked like a red Christmas tree. It was 7 feet tall. I thought it might
be a Puya. Someone else identified it as a Echium. I keep seeing blue
Echium where the inflorescence is the same shape but never any other
color. This appeared to jave a single inflorescence to a plant, as opposed
to the Eschium that I see that have muliplie inflorescences. I saw this in
Lompoc Ca (Sunset Zone 24). A man there working in his yard said it came
easily from seed, but could not remember the name.
Does anyone have any ideas?
