The borage leaves only have a scent of cucumber when crushed. I love that the blooms last a long time.

Now collecting the seeds is a bit tricky I think. They are known to shatter at a moment notice. Each flower produces four brownish-black seeds that can be harvested when mature.

Patti, would you mind sharing with us your seed collecting success? Smiling
