So pretty against the blue of the sky. Borage is an intriguing plant. It looks very ornamental and it is edible the flowers and the leaves, which have a slight cucumber taste. You photo is delightful, the glistening petals and small, silvery hairs on the plants is all visible. I can understand that you like to take pictures of this great herb.
Excellent shot! I don't know this flower. It certainly is lovely. If mythology is correct, the Virgin Mary was dressed beautifully - I'm sure she was. :)
I am taking a lot of photos of the borage flowers just now. In medieval mythology, they were the exact colour of the Virgin Mary's cloak.
Lovely close up, and I never knew the mythology of this flower. (I like that turtle too!) Happy SWF.
