Borage -- the Chef says you can eat the flowers (uh, cocktail garnish!)
wee green orbs

Nice picture of borage flowers!

You can eat them, they taste a bit like slightly sweet cucumber. And they make a elegant cocktail garnish for Martinis and such.

And borage figures in The Anatomy of Melancholy by Robert Burton (it's on the original frontispiece).
