Help me identify this plant oh mighty ones, having a brain fart , on the tip of tongue moment =, it’s the well it’s 7ft purple when in flower. I’m at the abc stage of nipping my own head trying to remer... think it begins with E.... help😁🤗😂😬when my mate asked me what she had. It’s autumn here , seed collecting tastic time round these parts. Hope your all tickety boo . Thanks #selfseeded #lilliesleaf #scottishborders #seed-gathering. Is it an echium? That’s coming to mind? Think I’m wrong
@midnightgardener how’s you, so see why you think that, defo@not, it’sh been frosted@to@weithin an inch of its@life , one seasons growth, it just appeared. Fleshy leaves very simalor to dock leafs but huge of a main stem hollow
@mrsflowerpot thank you big time - covid or no covid I could kiss you right now! It’s been driving me bonkers!!!!!! 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘 I New @Hellebore took an amazing shot of one a wee while ago - I was just looking at her plant list to find it. ( still an amazing shot Liz - it stuck with me - did you ever get your seeds going must be a few years ago now? I’ve got thousands if you want any from this one 😁
Hey Naomi - Echium does begin with E and it can have purple/blue flowers, but i don’t think the plant in your picture is the same thing. I’ve never seen a branched flower head on an Echium, usually they have just a single flower spike. Did it have yellow or white flowers perhaps? This looks much more like a Verbascum flower head like Aly suggested (and which can also be branched) but maybe I’ve missed something from your photo that others have seen? 🤔 @thehardygardener @mrsflowerpot
@richard.spicer.7906 I think you are right 🕵️♂️ Looking at the leaves it does look like Verbascum. Although I was going on the size and Naomi description of purple flowers??

It's an unusual shape, but it couldn't be a Monkey Puzzle tree could it. I know you said begins with E, shot in the dark really 🤔

Hey great to see your seed collecting, I thought it was a mullion or verbascum. Then I put my glasses on!
