Have got access to a ladder for any future measuring attempts?

Been out with the tape, and the echium is now 6ft 11ins. Not quite a foot since the last time. Must be the cooler weather here.

6' 11" ?!?!?!?! With any luck you'll get some snow down your way, Willpar

Whose shoulders are you standing on to do the measuring?

Will have to get something to stand on soon. My tape is a fourteen footer.

Aaaarrrggghhh, it's looking at us

Actually, I'm absolutely flabbergurgled at the size of it. Do passersby knock and ask you about it, Willpar ??

My hedge shields a lot of it placi. Maybe when it flowers properly some may stop to look.

The Pteradactyl roosting in the upper branches may attract some attention
