Borage

Borage (Borago officinalis) blooms in ultramarine bursts, five-pointed stars scattered across bristled green, each one a quiet declaration of resilience. His leaves are coarse and downy, his stems upright and generous, his flowers a vivid blue that fades to pink with age. He thrives in disturbed soils and garden edges, flourishing where moisture meets light. In medieval lore, borage was steeped in wine to lift the spirits of warriors. Today, he remains a symbol of quiet bravery, a botanical tonic for adrenal fatigue and skin repair. His nectar draws bees, his form softens landscapes, his bloom steadies the soul.
