Borage

Is it common to have both blue & pink flowers in the same cluster? I'd only seen the blue flowers up until today when I saw two pink ones, here's one of them:

It's not unusual to have both colors on one plant.

Very cool... I love the variation... although blue is my favourite colour! :)

And that is a lovely shade of blue. I think the pink sets it off nicely though.

Yes, mine looked like that.
(my dog loves borage. I'm glad she eats that rather than the houseplants)

It's pretty normal. I gather that sometimes the pink flowers will stay that way, but my plants, they'd would only be pink for a day or two, and then turn blue. I think that's more typical. So you'll have to check yours to see what they do.

I've even had a few borage flowers that were half pink and half blue, split right down the middle!

I believe the flowers are often pinkish when they first open, and later darken to blue...could be wrong though!

Try putting a marker round the stem of the pink one, and see whether it still looks pink tomorrow?
