The color of this caught my eye as that rich blue-purple is not as common in the garden. Then the scent hits you and it smells like a cross between cherry pie, vanilla and a grape popsicle. Besides the beautiful color and the scent it has wonderful deeply ribbed foliage. It's a member of the borage family.

Beautiful closeup, Kathy. You have turned me onto Heliotrope with both your view of it and your description.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
