Another from the Herb Garden: Barn #6

BORAGE (rhymes with "Porridge"). A clump, viewed as a whole, might look quite ordinary. But, if the individual flowers and stems are isolated from the large bunch, something entirely wonderful emerges.
---------
Another test of my new Canon EF 85mm F1.2L USM lens. I'm going to have to find a new source of income to support this new love of Primes! Shot raw, handheld in harsh sunshine.
-------
This will be the last of the Barn Tour series (until I run out of new pics).

This is beautiful, Michelle, and the detail amazing.I had just shot a little blue wildflower at a local lake and the plant here in your image looks very similar. I am attaching mine - could you look at it and tell me if this is a wild version of this same borage? #7782526
