Viper’s Bugloss


viper’s bugloss is unusual as it is the name for two entirely different things:
1 a common european plant “echium vulgare” also known as blueweed, which has rough, hairy leaves and the flowers start off pink but turn blue as they mature;
2 a european moth “hadena irregularis” which flies from july to august, believed extinct in the uk due to loss of habitat;
so despite sounding a bit sinister, it’s just the name of a couple of nature’s minor oddities.
“oh look, viper’s bugloss!”
“which? the plant or the moth?”
