Welcome to Scenic British Columbia, A Vancouver Island Photography Blog
Please bare with me as this is still a relatively new project, and I have a ton of ideas for this site. As time goes by I will be adding more advanced features. I hope you enjoy the photos of my travels, and day to day life on Vancouver Island. Cheers, Daryl Quenet, Vancouver Island Photographer.

I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me what this is. Overall it has a nice look to it, but its body seems like more that of a weed then flower. The flowers are oddly hairy and nice blue, so I figured they would be the best feature for identification.
I'll update this post when I find out what it is.
2007-07-02: I've updated the photo for with another from today. I'm suspecting more and more this is a weed, as several more have sprouted on my garden path in the gravel.

I just bought a book of herbs with almost the identical photo on its cover; you can find the book at this URL: http://www.jekkasherbfarm.com/details.asp?productid=489&qs=Category%3DBooks.

This is called borage -- it's not a weed, though it self-seeds and may grow all over the place more than you want in your garden. It's a herb with very pretty edible flowers (which you can put in your salad or lemonade -- or to makeice cubes!
