Echium angustifolium - Narrow-leaved Bugloss

This member of the Borage Family (Boraginaceae) is common in the Mediterranean Region. It grows on roadsides, waste ground and coastal land, and in other rocky and stony habitats. Narrow-leaved Bugloss flowers from March to July and is characterised by its flowers, which change from pink and purple. It is a much more sprawling plant than other members of the Borage Family.

This specimen was photographed in the Algarve, Portugal, in April.
