Ah, ok. Well, this one is loving it!

Another new-to-me plant from Mamajack's. Echium amoenum 'Red Feathers'. Info I've found says sun to part shade, drought tolerant once established, "survives on almost total neglect" -- my kind of plant!

I believe the flower spikes will be much taller later in the season as the plant matures.

If it opens red, I missed it, but it does seem to fade to a paler pinkish color.
