a field of borage

Ray saw this field when he was on the weekly ramble and also noted a small layby opposite where he could just park the car so I could get a shot or two.

Very pretty Hazel. I've never seen anything like this. A close up would have been nice too. Great shot by you, and a nice find by Ray...LOL.

Looks like a slice of paradise!

[Hazel]

@will_wooderson

Well that's interesting and I guess that for me paradise would definitely need to be purple!!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Also know as Starfire and a herb. It's a very pretty capture.

[Sandy]

That must have been an awesome sight. Did it smell good too?

[Pat Knowles]

Isn't that lovely....we never see lovely unusual crops such as borage. Beautiful delicate mauve.

[Hazel]

@skstein

I didn't notice any smell - but perhaps I was preoccupied!

I don't know what borage is, but I do know it looks beautiful in that field!! Love how the trees frame the shot and the borage seems to go on forever! Gorgeous color!! FAV!

[wendy frost]

Wonderful capture and colour of course. I wonder what they use the crop for perhaps the oil or seeds.

[Richard Hickey]

Fantastic picture and perspective. Congratulations on making the Trending Page and the PP. Well deserved.

[Steve and Pam Winfield]

Simply beautiful just like a carpet fav:)

@wendyfrost

I think it might be animal fodder.
