This spiky little divil is called borage. It is a very useful flower to have in the garden if you want to attract bees. They just love it. You can actually eat the flowers and they look great in a salad adding lovely colour to it. It is also a medicinal plant for ailments such as bronchitis, flu, acne and stress to name a few. It is rather prickly to the touch as you can see in this photo
A view from the front. I find it so amazing!! And it tastes great, would you believe!!!
