A Flowering Borage Plant In Winter

b.jpg

It's one of the flowering plants that stood the harsh weather here. It didn't sleep at all though I was expecting it to. It still has buds at this time of the year. Its growing on the same pot I let my Passion plant grow. I guess, I'd be doing much of these next year. I'd be planting more of them under a shade because I could actually use those flowers in a salad specially if I have a lot of them.

Truth is .. I didn't put it there, it probably just fell while I was planting the seeds last year and grew there. I let it and somehow it's the last one standing. The other Borage plants withered on their own.

The tree and the leaves of the ever climbing passion plant above it must have served as its shelter from the rain so it has managed to survive. It has probably laughed at the ice when it snowed here.

Unfortunately, the code red windstorm got its way on it. Oh well, no bees to pollinate it anyway.

Just from this plant alone, I got these seeds. It has flowered a lot and is still flowering. I could have gotten more seeds have I not missed them falling off the ground. I won't be surprised if one or two grows in the same pot this year.

Of course, I'd be planting more this year, mostly beside the cucumber plant in my veggie garden. Can you guess why?

This? Am not letting it go yet. How could I? It's doing its best to bring me flowers even though it's not even getting pollinated. The plant itself is still very healthy though the blooms have been scorched by the last storm. It's still fighting so why? It reminds me of those who posts here and do their best despite the lack of attention they are getting.

I have a confession to make, I almost posted just the thumbnail shot and the title. I think the most of you know I return ups. I've been seeing posts with one blurry picture and a sentence or just a picture with a title. Where's the value in that would you please tell me cause I just can't seem to find any?

Okay... some do give value - those that gives new info like a place I've never been to or a certain species of some living organism I've never seen. It's hard to cast an upvote on those posts that don't cause it feels like I'm committing injustice to those who are doing their best coming up with a post that doesn't just give value but also coming up with something new and creating them with much effort it shows in their posts.

Are you living in a country with four seasons? Have you any plant in your garden that's flowering now? Which one?

This content's 100% mine. I took and retouched first set of the pics with my Nikon D3400 + AF-P NIKKOR 18-55mm and the colored ones with my Samsung Galaxy A3, 2016.
