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.
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.
I like the look of the hairy parts. Very nice shot
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. :)
Oh, so excellent!
Judy: Beautiful flower in the blue sky. - BTW The peonies are long gone.
Lovely shot. What an interesting little flower. Very pretty!
Great shot !!!
Such a pretty flower ... I love the blue of the petals..
I need to remind Bronwynn of the many times she has eaten borage flowers!!
