Borage (Borago officinalis) blooms hang downward so you usually see the bottoms of the blooms. The true blue of the blooms contrast nicely with the beautiful foliage. In early morning and late afternoon sunlight, the blooms appear to be a bright neon blue.

Some borage flowers will pop up pink.... often it is the older ones turning pink as they age. They look very pretty with the other blue ones nearby. :)

Borage (Borago officinalis) is a quite hairy plant.
by htop Mar 22, 2007 4:16 PM
Borage (Borago officinalis) leaves are hairy bothe along the edges and the surfaces. They can have a narrow extension as they attach to the leaf petiole.

Borage (Borago officinalis) blooms as seen from the backside and bloom buds. The blue color of the blooms is more intense if the plant is grown in poor soil.
