Those borage flowers are beautiful. I love their deep blue color. I have only seen pictures of borage in catalogs, but your photo gives me a better sense of how beautiful the flowers truly are.

Beautiful pictures! I am growing borage for the first time myself and now I can't wait to see the blue flowers. You are also lucky to have such a beautiful cat to watch over your garden. :)

Thanks for all the kind comments. I bought packets of Borage and Nigella seeds many years ago, and still get plants popping all over the garden every year.

Borage is considered to be a herb, but I wanted it for the colour of the flowers and like that the slugs don't eat it.

As for Misty - she is her own boss. Her job is to look good, so she tells me.
