This borage was so beautiful last year ππ

Wow that's looking good. Super growth ππβ₯οΈβ₯οΈ

@ublaszko it really was! Hoping for a better display given these are self seeded. Usually turn out much better π€π»

@midnightgardener thank you Christine π

@cyndi thanks Cyndi βΊοΈ

Do you use it for drinks? Apparently, you can add it to gin π

@ublaszko I made little ice cubes with the flowers last summer but the heavy handed measures of gin negates any taste of borage π€£π€£π€£

ππ How cute! π

@ublaszko was a rare moment of girly π

Tried these from seed a couple yrs ago but, as you know, I suck at seeds so I still don't have any borage!

@lesliecole49 once you get one to flowering stage youβll never be short of them π did you sow them direct?

Self seeded and trying to grow π

Amazing ππππ

More flowers for next year π π

@midnightgardener more than I know what to do with π

@ublaszko just a shame they wonβt make it through winter outdoors π darenβt bring them in the greenhouse because thereβs alliums in the pot π

I think I prefer the white one ππ

Oh, I have never seen a #white #borage! Pretty. #boragoofficinalis #alba

@ublaszko isnβt it lovely π blue is pretty but this one is a nice change

@lovestogarden thinking the blue and white together would be a lovely combination π I have spare seeds if you ever fancy trying some Janice π

Ooh I like the whiteπππ

@tinaaune thank you Tina βΊοΈ have spare seed if you ever want any π

Thank you, Kerry, but I think I should say no right now. They really take over my garden with their self seeding. Thank you so much. It is very kind of you to offer. π

@lovestogarden no problem Janice βΊοΈ

Very pretty! Sorry I haven't responded straight away. I'm currently addicted to a new game called June's Journey. It's like a murder mystery novel set in 1920s but there's a whole side to it about creating your own posh estate and gardens πππ I've done an Italianate garden and now I'm making a tropical one π

@ublaszko oh my god, I just started playing that last week!!! π€£ it really is addictive but keep running out of energy π«

πππππ Me too! I play it at breakfast and after dinner so it has time to recharge the energy. Also if I run out of energy but have an unopened box, I wait until the energy recharges before opening the box so I get the max energy ππ I keep falling short of flowers to progress to the next level because I don't buy enough items and then I have to wait until they get built π° Need to buy more! π

@ublaszko love that you time it to make the most of the energy π Iβm hardly progressing because Iβm determined not to use real money π but I wanna get some land expansions π‘

Wow! The white ones are really different to the blue ones but equally very nice!! ππβ₯οΈβ₯οΈ
So elegant looking
@cyndi thanks Cyndi π
@midnightgardener thanks Christine βΊοΈ they do look lovely together too ππ€
@alan1111 thank you Alan π love the blue but this white is so pretty π
It's a nice photo you captured it lovely
@alan1111 youβre very kind π howβs things?
Grand, got out to the garden today started some seeds still so much to do. I haven't been able to get the garden resently. On the bright side today is the spring equinox
@alan1111 Iβm happy to hear it π feels good to get things started Iβm sure π the aquarium coming along well?
@gjones about 2/3 of the pot is white I think. Still have no idea where the blue ones came from but theyβre a nice combination π
@gjones a little more sun and there will be enough flowers to combine π
