Echium Planet. On this dark night at an elevation of 2,000 meters on La Palma, Canary Islands, I felt like I walked into a science fiction scene. The setting moon was shining on the very top of a massive caldera. Standing on the edge of a pitch-black drop-off, the giant flowers in full bloom looked otherworldly. They are Echium wildpretii or tajinaste in Spanish, reaching 1-3 meters tall.
