Though we are well into September and the leaves are starting to turn, there are still some delights in the garden. This is Borage (Borago officinalis), more descriptively and poetically known as Starflower. The flowers and leaves are edible and are also used in herbal medicine. But I like it mostly because since I started to take close-up photos of plants and flowers, I've developed a special fondness for hairy plants. Borage certainly qualifies.

Beautiful!
And I can relate to the 'hair-admiration'.
Great close up and I love the water droplet too!
A great shot! Excellent play with depth of field. They also make lovely honey (with the help of bees and their keepers).
Another great shot:)
Very nice flower photo, I love the colour of borage. I pass some growing adjacent to platform 1 of the rail station in the village where I live.
