    It looks like either Borage (Borago officinalis) which is a herb and the leaves taste like cucumber or Geranium phaeum, but the flower is maroon. Could you post a photo of the foliage?

    Thank you so much. I will post an image with foliage a little later this evening. I tend to think it might be more in the Borago family, mainly because of color. Sorry, the foliage is out of focus but, maybe there is enough detail there to help.
