Francesco's comment that borage self-seeds is putting it mildly. I grew a few 
plants one year about 6 years ago and have had more than plenty as well as 
weeding the seedlings out of that garden plot each year. The flowers are 
beautiful, do I also remember correctly that they can be "candied" like 
violets and violas for confection use?
