Endemismo grancanario, también conocido como tajinaste de Tenteniguada, es un arbusto ramificado y con flores de color azul, fucsia o blanco, que crece en forma de cono. Solo se encuentra en el norte y noroeste de la isla de Gran Canaria y se considera una especie vulnerable.
En el Jardín Botánico Viera y Clavijo, conocido como Jardín Canario, situado en la isla de Gran Canaria, se cultiva el tajinaste azul (Echium callithyrsum), además, conservan una gran representación de semillas en su Banco de Germoplasma (colección de material vegetal vivo en forma de semillas y esporas). Por otro lado, en el mismo Jardín también se lleva a cabo un proyecto de investigación sobre la diversidad y biología reproductiva de esta especie endémica.

This easy-to-grow, extremely hardy Echium is in the foreground. In the distance, adjacent to Jack London Square is a US Navy ship more or less permanently docked here. Beyond that is the Port of Oakland and beyond that Treasure Island.

Ricordo molto bene questa scena: stavo risalendo la tortuosa strada che porta alla sommità della Caldera di Taburiente, a La Palma, quando queste infiorescenze hanno iniziato a mostrarsi ovunque lungo il cammino come una processione di supplicanti per l'eterna primavera che domina quei luoghi.

Munich, Germany.

Day Four. Today we went by tram to the Munich Botanical Garden (Botanischer Garten München-Nymphenburg).

We got there just about 10:00. It was crisp, but gloriously sunny ... a perfect winter day.

After lunch in their cafe we headed towards the big glasshouse. The glasshouse is divided into halls to cater for different environments and types of plant. Desert ... cacti ... bromeliads ... orchids ... ferns ... plants with medicinal or culinary uses. Brilliantly done.

Comment on Flick's album 'Echium italicum ssp. italicum'): Echium italicum ssp. italicum is a slender, eye-catching plant that can reach up to 1.2 meters tall. While it may not be vibrant in color, it appears pale overall due to the hairs that cover it, which help reduce water loss in the hot Mediterranean climate. The plant is not thorny but has coarse, brush-like hairs that can be unpleasant to the touch; these likely serve to protect it from grazing. It tends to favor stony and somewhat disturbed ground. The numerous flowers are attractive, typically white with occasional bluish or pinkish tones, and are elegantly shaped, featuring white stamens that extend prominently beyond the perianth. This plant is found in the Mediterranean region, on the Balkan Peninsula, and in Crimea, but is absent from North Africa and the western Mediterranean.
