Ann, next summer, grab a borage blossom, stick it in your mouth and give it a good chew. Guaranteed you're gonna be spitting that thing out like a bee had stung your tongue. It tastes HORRIBLE, just like old fish oil, no clue why. The leaves are things of beauty, they smell like cucumber when touched or crushed and make a lovely addition to the salad, cooked is even good too. The flowers are beautiful to garnish things with, just don't each one alone, hee, hee, you'd regret it, but you gotta try it out, girl!!! Have that beautiful day, with beautiful health. Cindi
