To John, Diane and Mary Sue, Thanks for the purple field diagnosis. Andrew From: pbs-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org [mailto:pbs-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Mary Sue Ittner The small echium that Diane mentioned I have seen naturalized in Australia and I think New Zealand, South Africa, and California. The ones I have seen were short, but it probably depends on various conditions like soil and rainfall. It's really hard to tell from your photo, but I think it is very possible that Diane and John Grimshaw are on the right track. Mary Sue
