Boraginaceae

Gush.  This is my favorite new flower.  I don't care that it's non-native.  I love the three colors of blooms on one flower stalk.  The yellow petals turn blue and other parts turn red as they age.  I don't know how they explain the white.  The freshest bloom?  It's really tiny and so sweet.  It looks like it belongs on something girly, like old-fashioned stationery.

Thanks. Look how dark my fingers have turned with all the time in the sun! I'm non-native, and I'm turning blue (see new post), too. Ha!
