Collected various seeds in Madeira two years ago. This is the first plant to flower but looks horribly like my neighbours Buddleia. ????

But it's a Madeira Buddleia - it just looks like an English Buddleia

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Well at least the butterflies will be happy. This is also from seed collected in Madeira but I had no clue what it was until I saw an item on Echiums today. I would be delighted if it was as they are everywhere on the island and a great reminder of happy hols there. Apparently they take 3-4 years to flower from seed so I may have to be patient. No sign of anything similar next door!
It could be a different species but looks much as Buddleia davidii to me. It's not native to the UK although it's gone wild here. Not native to Madeira either, China I think

2nd. photo does look like an Echium of some description.
