PICTURE OF A BORAGE FLOWER

  1. Although it looks like borage, it is strange that it has 4 petals while borage should have 5. Posted 10 years ago

Borage, also known as a starflower, is an annual herb originating in Syria, but naturalized throughout the Mediterranean region, as well as Asia Minor, Europe, North Africa, and South America. This plant was thought to be native of Assyria, but is probably of North African origin, where there are other Borago species.
