Hey, look how gorgeous this is. All that cropping well worth it!
Beautiful photo. Do you have it in your garden and do you use comfrey in herbal recipes or just as a pretty looking herb.
No – I’m not very experimental with herbs. I do drink camomile tea but it’s from a packet!
Well if you haven’t done much with herbs the packet tea is probably a good thing!
I am in awe! So beautiful! Could I ask what make of camera you use?
I’m using my iPhone 5 more and more, but this was taken with my trusty, old, rather battered Canon G11.
Thanks For sharing. The canon has done an amazing job. Best wishes! 🙂
Beautiful. I grow herbs for the colors, this reminds me of borage blue. Wish I knew more about using them. Do you use herbs in your cooking? I held a class once on Tussy Mussy’s and learned they all had a meaning. I was more surprised as to why Victorian women carried them.
I do use herbs for cooking though I’m not a great cook. A few years ago, I had the chance to go to The Herb Society of America’s Annual Herbal Forum, which I really enjoyed. The speakers made up limericks to celebrate the Umbel family – there were some surprisingly good ones! Herbs are so versatile – I can’t imagine a cottage garden without them.
Exactly, the colors and foliage are both beautiful. I must admit right now I have cabbage growing in my iris bed for the added texture. 🙂
Oh one of my favourites. Nice photo.
Lovely photo of the flowers. Great backlighting behind the leaves. Comfrey is a good mulch in the garden and herbally it is known as the bone-knitter, so best used in poultices for contusions. Although some older home remedy texts do suggest teas can been made from it for digestion, scientific evidence does suggest it is best not to use it internally.
Good point – I didn’t mean to imply people should drink or eat comfrey – quite the contrary!
