A couple claim they have grown Britain's tallest echium plant - at over 18FT.
Pam Betowski, 71, and husband Noel, 70, say the massive flower towers over their home.
The 18ft 4ins echium eclipses the previous UK record of 16ft set by Darren Wilson in Saltash, Cornwall.
Pam, a woven textile artist from Sancreed, Cornwall, credits the huge growth to her husband Noel's use of "hügelkultur" cultivation method.
It a traditional way of building a garden bed from rotten logs and plant debris.
