Hi Placi, the 4 ft ones placi are the nearest and farthest. The tall on is in the middle. That one is starting to grow upwards now. Just been out with the tape measure and it is 28 inches high.
I think John Wyndham wrote book about those things back in the 1950s. Be afraid............very afraid

The tall Echium is getting flower buds now. Not sure about the shorter ones.

Here is a video of the buds placi. The hairs on the plant I am told can irritate the skin if touched.

Now that's interesting - axillary buds !! Don't go too close, Willpar, it's got a lot of growing to do
.
I wouldn't be a bit surprised it doesn't like being touched
