  1. The giant echium today before it was wrapped in fleece. There are some cold nights coming up. Whether it survives is now entirely down to the weather.

  6. #Autumn is an important season in temperate climates, necessary for numerous organisms to prepare for #winterdiapause. I here show #floweringplants on a dry #meadow in #Berlin in mid-#October 2025: #Achillea #millefolium, #Echium #vulgare, #Berteroa #incana, #Jacobaea #vulgaris. They serve as last #nectarsource for various insects. But what effect does #globalwarming actually have on autumn (further reading)?

  11. #Blueweed #Echium #vulgare (#Boraginaceae) is naturally distributed from #Europe to Central Asia and occurs as a neophyte e.g. in North America and Australia. It is highly #adapted to #drought and nutrient-poor soils. According to K. A. Leiss et al. (2004), the amount of #nectar #produced is genetically determined, although #environmentalfactors also play a role. #biodiversity

  16. You know that feeling when you're out gardening in your small front garden and an elderly neighbour stops for a chat and casually throws in how they think echiums are ugly when they flower...so you promptly head to the back garden and grab 5 more from the creche to plant.

  18. Tajinastes (#Echium wilpretii ssp trichosiphon) in Caldera de Taburiente NP (La Palma, #Canary Is.) are now flowering. They are difficult to miss in the way to the top!
