I live in Edmonton and this item appeared amongst mostly dandelions in our back alley. I have not seen it before and have lived here ( in Edmonton ) for over 25 years. Can someone identify? Thanks, Noel Alden.
Welcome noellen. Looks like Borago officinalis. Common name Borage. http://www.google.co.uk/images?q=bo...&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1244&bih=528 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borage They look great frozen in ice as a decoration in drinks. http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgu...sDxAw&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=21&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0
