Viper Bugloss
Viper’s Bugloss (Echium vulgare)
This is an example of a wildflower that received an undeservedly frightening name based simply on its looks. Also called Viper Grass, and Thistle Blueweed, this bristly blue and pink wildflower has a genus name that comes from the Greek word “Ekbis” meaning “viper”. Some people think the plants somehow create a hiding place for snakes, or that the plant is guilty of other serpent-related qualities, but it is not. The name is simply because someone long ago thought the flower looked like the head of a snake.
Use was a wildflower perhaps for some medicinal purpose.
