This member of the borage family, originally from the Canary Islands, is a woody perennial that can grow up to eight feet tall, with 20-inch-long clusters of tiny 1/2-inch blooms. It's often found in southern California. Large beds of Pride-of-Madeira greeted me this morning in front of the Botanic Garden's visitor center.
