Borage attracting the bees already :-)

Love the deep blue flowers and the silky hairs on the buds.

i wish i had grown them before now PP but ah well better late than never

Beautiful flowers they have.
Have you tasted it ?

not yet Hywel, but i will do

I've never tried t either.

lol ill let you know what it tastes like Hywel

Hope you enjoy it :o)

well Hywel i tasted the leaves today and all i will say is Cucumber lol

These are so beautiful ! Love the way the flower color changes once it's been polleniated by a bee too.

the colours are amazing - remind me did you grow these from seed

you eat the flowers Irish..just take it by the tip there and pull..it pops right off eat the whole flower. I found some wild ones growing my my garden..they are not so pretty as yours as they did not start really taking off until I dug up all the old boards that were in my back garden..they have little tiny buds right now..but not bloomed at all..yours are super lovely!

aye Angie, these are from seeds

thanks CJ.
i did taste the leaves , ill try the flowers next lol

Lovley vivd blue nice

If the leaves taste of cucumber, what do the flowers taste of, salad cream?

thanks Morgana

lol ill let you know tomorrow Toto

They taste fresh and just a bit sweet Toto...hey your back!

You bet.

Life is worth livin again!...How did that borage flower taste Eileen?

oops , i forgot to try it lol .
sorry ill write myself a memo to try it tomorrow lol

I will be waiting for a report..lol

Your letting down the side Irish. Have you anything to report yet?

fraid not Toto, torrential rain here most of the day

Another meagre excuse.

it works for me Toto lol

they taste best in the rain Irish....lol...ole hot dry ones just are not so good!

Your faithful followers await.

Yeah..just take hold of the little black tip there and give it a tug..pop the whole flower in your mouth,...I would love it..wish I had one right now..very nutricious too. There was a cafe that I liked in the Islands here that had a garden of it's own..they used to put the borage flower right on your plate and in your salad ..very pretty too.

I think she's scared Cat. Would never of thought that of her but these things have a way of becoming known. Especially if they are posted on the internet.

takes a lot to scare me Toto, only thing im afraid of is seeing my reflection in the mirror every morn lol.

all i can say is it had a peppery taste, i liked the leaves better

Glad you finally had the courage to try or did you look it up? Have you tried Nasturtium yet as it also has a peppery taste, much like watercress.

aye ive tasted Nasturtiums before Toto

hmmm..I never thought of them as being peppery..hmmm..I will have to wait a bit..mine are not bloomed out enough yet..gettting ready though...and mine are wild ..not grown from seed..wonder if there is a difference..

thats interesting Cj, maybe there is a difference between seed grown ones and wild ones

I guess we'll need to wait for the medical examiners report!
