Viper's bugloss, echium vulgare. The plant can cause irritation to humans by brushing up against it. It is toxic to cattle however young shoots are edible when picked small and green. Large amounts can cause liver damage though. It can be a medicinal plant. Being used as an infusion to treat fevers and chest conditions.
