Beautiful, such a clear photo 💙

Beautiful #frameworthy pic

Can’t wait for mine to look this lovely 💙💙💙

Oh very pretty..

@anges thanks Ange 😊 the fuzz is showing itself off well 😅

@cyndi thank you Cyndi ☺️🙏🏻

@pelly hopefully yours won’t change colour like this one 😂 self seeded from a white plant 🤷🏻‍♀️

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom thanks Elaine 😁

Very welcome

#fuzzy #hairy 😍😍

Fuzz is good! 😃💙

This pot only ever had white borage in it 🤔 looks like half the self sets are going to be blue 😕 #borage #common-borage #borago-officinalis

I love Borage 💙💜 😃

I've moved mine round the front of the house, if its determined to flower now I may as well show it off.

They have such pretty flowers but I bet you were expecting them to be white! Wonder why that happenef🤔

I've sown lots of the blue for this year 💙💙💙

So very pretty and a favourite of mine 😊😊💙💙

@anges pretty, fuzzy, bee magnet - can’t get much better 😍

@DeborahBanks it deserves to be shown off 😛 seems ours are on their own schedule 🤣

One of the things I wished I had grown back on London! Do you use the flowers in salads?

@gjones it’s very strange. I thought the buds looked a bit dark but presumed the endless rain had affected them. But no, the whole pot is a complete mixture 😂 how a white plant can drop blue seeds I’ll never know 🤣

@pelly it’s such an eye catching colour in the garden isn’t it 💙 has reminded me of the blue penstemon you had last year 😍 (I think it was you 🤔)

@midnightgardener they’re beautiful aren’t they 😍 will your wildflower bed have some this year?

With added cement mixer feature 🤗

😂😂

@ublaszko it’s quite striking! The orange compliments my dead grass so well 😍

Hopefully, not for long. Both the dead grass and the orange feature 😉😁

@ublaszko fingers crossed they’re both gone after the weekend 🤞🏼

Good luck! 👍

This plant got great energy it doesn't stop growing I harvested hundreds of seeds from one plant and makes a good herbal salad and always eat a few leaves when I walk by

@ublaszko thanks urszula 😁

@rayman these were given to me as zinnia plants but have turned out not to be zinnia at all 🤣 I’d only known about borage for the flowers but @cyndi sent me some links so learning how much more than a flower it is! Still very pretty though 😛

Yes it tastes a bit like cucumber

@cyndi it’s flowering 😛

Very awesome and yeap def #borage

@cyndi I love blue flowers so couldn’t have worked out better 😛 it’s a pretty plant 💚💙

@cyndi this is a progress photo on the mistaken zinnia. Do you still think borage?

I do believe this to be so. Here scroll through these pics and have a read good info as well. http://gaiacreationsecoland.blogspot.com/2011/05/volunteer-plants-in-feijoa-arbor-guild.html?m=1 and http://higgledygarden.com/2011/06/15/edible-flowers-the-dedicated-plot-update/#

It doesn't look like a zinnia🤔🤔🤔 could be borage😊

@cyndi thank you for the link 😁 I best tell my uncle about this because he’s planted them everywhere thinking they’re zinnia 🙈 must have marked his seed trays wrong 😂

@gjones you all have so much knowledge! I’ve no idea what things are even when they flower 😂😂😳

Welcome hun its a pretty and useful plant xoxo

Go ahead and change the encyclopedia link its the tiny pencil above the pic on your page it will auto change all under this tag for these pics only for you.

Most definitely BORAGE Kerry ....very pretty and does self seed 👍😊

@cyndi changed now, thank you again for the help id-ing this zinnia wannabe 😂

@flof1952 thank you Pauline ☺️ I’ll grow my own zinnia next year then am guaranteed to get some 😂

You are welcome xoxo

Fuzzy buds

Which Colour 🤔😊

@gauravsh6 I was given these as tiny seedlings so I’ve no idea what they’ll end up being. Can’t wait to find out 😁

Ah so Surprise Awaits You 😊

@gauravsh6 it does 😁 will make them even more special when they flower 😊

What kind of zinnia is this? Never seen them look like this.

@cyndi I’m not sure as the seedlings were given to me. I’ve never grown zinnia before so be interesting if they even turn out to be that 😂

Im gonna take a gander and say its not zinnias cus I have hundreds growing lol never looked like this . boarage has fuzzy buds lets put this #plantid to see if anyone else recognizes it.

@cyndi I’d be happy with borage, the flowers on that are lovely 😁

My first thought was borage too. Perhaps the white variety.

@DickieLeysh I’ll add photos as it opens 😁shame it’s not zinnia but at least it’s going to be pretty 😛
