I'm SO excited to have found this one - I hear they're a little trickier to grow from seed, but definitely worth a try if you can't find the plants in a nursery near you...

Thanks! And yes, Chuck, it's funny you mention Borage being so prolific in SF - that's precisely where I first discovered it, when I lived there 20 years ago!!

I love borage flowers in an icy pitcher of cucumber water on a hot day! So interesting – much of what you have is what I grow in the summer.

Well, let's not dwell on sad things. Whenever I think of freesia I think of Miranda Priestly..."What is that smell? Is that freesia? If I see freesia anywhere, I will be very disappointed..." You know borage is so prolific in San Francisco, yet I have never bothered to taste it. It's supposed to be good muddled in ice water too. Refreshing cucumber taste or something..? Well, I haven't tried it. That’s tragic about your freesia disability. I think you’re the only person I know who actually has that trait. Well, let’s not dwell on sad things.
