EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph showcases the towering beauty of Echium pininana, commonly known as Tower of Jewels or simply, Echium. This magnificent specimen of the Boraginaceae family, which is part of the larger Angiosperm class, is a biennial dicotyledon, meaning it completes its life cycle in two years and has two embryonic leaves at germination. The plant's foliage forms a lush, green base that supports the breathtaking spike, which can grow up to an impressive three metres tall. In summer, the spike transforms into a vibrant display of hundreds of purple-blue flowers. The flowers belong to the Asterid clade, a large group of eudicots within the magnoliophyta division, which includes a vast array of flowering plants. Echium pininana's spike is a true marvel, earning it the common name 'Tower of Jewels'. Each flower on the spike is a tiny jewel, adding to the overall enchanting appearance of this plant. The plant's structure and colour make it a popular choice among garden enthusiasts and botanical enthusiasts alike. The Echium genus, to which Echium pininana belongs, is native to the Canary Islands and Macaronesia. This plant's unique characteristics and captivating beauty make it a must-have for any botanical collection or garden, adding a touch of exotic allure to any space.
