Pretty on top of a cheesecake (borage) cuts out a lot of the calories.

It's definitely the source of starflower oil. I suppose someone though that sounded better than borage oil. It's a superb bee plant as well; it's become a weed on my plot, and it gets more attention from them than anything else in the garden.

Went back that way today, here's some more pics with a camera this time.
It's up round Bledlow Ridge, such pretty countryside and teeming with red kites too. Gorgeous. :)

Great pictures...can you put them in the random pics so that we can see them often and remember summer and sunshine?

What's the relationship between borage and comfrey - they look similar. I've got loads of comfrey. (don't know why you would want to know that ;-)

the borage family includes comfrey, forget me nots, etc.
I drive past fields of borage on the way to work, lovely, but yes, grown commercially in loads of places for its oil.

I want something to fill my front border, never thought of borage even though I've got a few pots of the stuff round the back and up at the lottie.
As it's supposed to self seed everywhere, I may just give that a shot.
;D
