Praise Borage



I did not spend the time during this very busy week getting decent photos of the borage that has so artfully returned, an encore performance that I think is rather striking for its season. It is so wonderful to see plants simply turning their noses up at the cold weather and flourishing.  Best of all is that I had little to do with it -the borage simply re-seeded itself from the spring flowering. I pulled all that remained sometime this summer, after deadheading and cutting back to nothing worth keeping. Now I see that I should pull them right after they begin to decline and wait for the seeds to sprout for the fall display.

Ha! I truly believe this is the first time I uploaded a blurry photo to the blog.

  4. Wow! The Borage looks really nice and colorful. I like the fact that they love the cold weather and they can re-seed themselves. It's awesome. Wish I can find these at the local florists in Indianapolis. You must have a green thumb or something! Amazing!
