Scientifically known as Echium, it is characterized by its spike-shaped structure and a wide range of colors that vary from deep red to vibrant blue. Among the most prominent species are the red tajinaste (Echium wildpretii) and the blue tajinaste (Echium virescens)which have fascinated visitors and botanical experts alike.
