Beautiful blue on that paracaryum Chris - not a genus I've heard of but presumably borage family?

Well no, I didn't know it under any name.  I do tend to be a bit suspicious of the borage family as we have rampaging green alkanet in the garden (Pentaglottis sempervirens) and I've seen nonea going mad elsewhere.

Some beautiful things there Chris. You will have such pleasure from them as they grow on. :D The blue Paracaryum is especially lovely.

hi lesley, the blue is fantastic, like a gentiana...a very good alternative to the yellow bloomed onosmas....

I too like Onosma, Paracaryum, Rindera, and other fun Borags... added Paracaryum racemosum this year myself.  Some phto links of Paracaryum racemosum:
