New to the botanical world, just moved into a house with an existing garden and this popped up. Never posted on here before, only observed. Wondered if anyone would be able to identify.
Welcome yt1. Looks like Borago officinalis. Common name Borage. http://images.google.com/images?q=B...1I7SUNA_en-GB&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borage
Wow, I appreciate the speedy response Silver surfer. I've heard of borage in culinary reference, had no idea it had such showy blooms! I obviously have a lot to learn!! Thanks a bunch!
i never knew the blooms were so pretty either!!! definitely going on my 'want' list! this one is supposed to be a good companion plant to tomato.
joclyn, you can pick the flowers and put them into icecube trays with water and freeze them. Add to drinks etc. Mind you it may look very pretty but can get quite large AND seed around. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2183/2442803210_b302aa651d.jpg
