Hello Diane,
A more complementary name for this plant is Salvation
Jane. Someone must love it.

My first thought was Echium, Patterson's Curse, which grows in such
great swaths in Western Australia that it can probably be seen from

I saw scattered plants of it in the Eastern Cape in January. I think
if it had taken over fields there, then it would be well known to
wildflower guides, but our two guides did not seem unduly disturbed by
it. I warned them of what it had done in Australia.
