This is the ONLY Pride of Madeira I've seen here in 2 years! I've watched it enviously for those years, but last year I did get seeds from it and will sow them maybe next month. It's my preferred color of purple. I did get cuttings from it last year, but I have never had much luck with echium cuttings. I do have a couple that were given to me, grown from cuttings by a friend who is certainly not a gardener (how does that make ME feel?)....LOL...but they are pure blue and I don't care much for that somehow........
They are not as 'blue' as this second pic shows them to be.....
