| Borage is
a favorite herb for flavoring summer drinks, usually fruit and wine cups.
The blue and occasionally pink delicate flowers are edible. The leaves can be
eaten in salads and the flowers added as decoration. |

| The
blooms can also be candied. Watch out for the thorny like leaves. Tender leaves
and star-shaped flowers have a very mild cucumber flavor. The plant grows wild
in Central and Eastern Europe. |
