| Is this plant Comfrey (Symphytum)?
It's got very hairy stems, and the back of the leaves are the same (they can even prick you). The height is 28ins/71cms.

| No, it's borage, Borago officinalis. And you have a nice, unusual, white version, 'Alba'. Better start mixing the Pimms - if the sun ever comes out here. |

| Thank you, my wife thought that it was a herb of sorts, but we didn't think of Borage. It's a mystery how we came by it, and she can only think that it came with some mail-order plants from T& M or Gardening-direct. Strange all round! |
