I'm on Vancouver Island and this is growing at one of my local community centres. The colour isn't excellent in the photos, the bloooms are more blue in colour. The long lower leaves remind me a little of comfrey. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Looks like Echium pininana. echium pininana - Google Search: T.E.R:R.A.I.N - Taranaki Educational Resource: Research, Analysis and Information Network - Echium pininana (Pride of Tenerife)
