in the fading light

[ArthurDent]

Great shot of a very unusual looking flower.

[Bjørn Rørslett]

Not Borago by any stretch of imagination. Nigella damescena, however, will fit the bill better.

a wonderful image Frank !

[Jakov Minić]

Sparkling and dreamy, wonderful 

[Frank Fremerey]

Not Borago by any stretch of imagination. Nigella damescena, however, will fit the bill better.

I hope this is the promised Borago Officinalis now:

[Bjørn Rørslett]

The slightly off-focus branches in the immediate background are Borago, but the blue flowers in the foreground are Centaurea cyanus ...

So says the botanist.

[Frank Fremerey]

Thank you. All three same color and similar star like shape

[Bjørn Rørslett]

So say the non-botanist

All three are vastly different as they belong to widely separated parts of the Plant Kingdom, but all have flowers in a shade of blue. Not enough for them to be joined under one common name, though ...

[Bruno Schroder]

Very nice picture of the Nigella, Frank.

[Frank Fremerey]

Sometimes I wish I could name every bird by its song and every flower and tree by their names but possibly I will never learn that. Still I enjoy the sound&vision.

Thank you Bruno!

[John Geerts]

Impressive Nigella shot, Frank.

[Akira]

Love the pleasant blue color and the atmosphere created by the fading light.
