flowerful Friday

This is one of my favorite plants growing in my garden. It's borage, and it's like a bee magnet. Bees flock to the star-shaped blue flowers - that turn pinkish the longer they've been exposed to sunlight - and if you listen closely it's as if the entire plant is buzzing. I love borage's fuzzy quality and how the fuzz captures light.

the leaves and the flowers are edible
Happy Friday!
