as Terry Baker, 53 found out when his Giant Bugloss shot up 13 feet in the blazing sunshine and blossomed into thousands of bright purple flowers, the endangered plant, latin name Echium pininana, is native to the Canary Islands and very unlikely to reach great heights in Britain due to our colder climate, but sizzling temperatures of more than 20 degrees Celsius have caused this two-year-old plant to grow to epic proportions in Atworth, near Melksham, Wilts, so I am guessing over the next few months more UK gardens will have 'different' non native species flowering, great fun - so long as they do not get out of control!
