From such a tiny seed, and then a little plant,
It grew and grew like jacks' beanstalk......
Then soon is was as tall as  a tree.
Its top far away from me,
It blossomed into a tower.
A tower of flowers..
Beautiful to see,
Bees came and fed to their delight,
Only stopping in the night.
Drifting along each flower,
Seemingly there for hours and hours.

My ode to the majestic Echium,one of ours grew to 16ft 6 in !!
