Slightly trivial question, but how is "bugloss" actually pronounced?!

Is it "bug loss" or "bew gloss" or perhaps even "boo glow"? Every time I see one of these I wonder whether I'm saying it right

Not a trivial question at all. I think we've all had problems trying to decide on correct pronounciations at sometime or another.

Bugloss is - Bew as in view.

Mike, what is shown on the top plant is the flower-spike full of bracts and sepals, no leaves.
