Species of Echium are native to North Africa, mainland Europe to Central Asia, and the Macaronesian islands where the genus reaches its maximum diversity. Twenty-nine species of Echium are endemic to the Canary, Madeira, and Cape Verde archipelagos.[2] The continental species are herbaceous, whereas many of the endemic species of the Macaronesian islands are woody perennial shrubs.[3]

Nice image with a nice perspective. Your friend's presense helps one understand just how tall that plant is.
