The honey is a delicate flavour with a floral bouquet and being high in fructose is excellent as a drink sweetener, especially coffee where it imparts another flavour dimension. keep this in the refrigerator and you have a natural chewy snack for kids of all ages.
This wild flower covers the hills of New Zealand's Central South Island in a sea of brilliant blue colour during summer months. The seed, resembling a Viper's head, was once mistakenly used as a treatment for snakebite giving the plant its unusual name. Vipers Bugloss is a close relative of Salvation Jane (Echium plantagineum), another well known honey plant from Australia.
