It is the spontaneous plant found in our country through pastures, dry meadows, on the edges of forests, roads, from the plain to the mountainous region. Sometimes it is cultivated in the gardens. The plant can reach up to 1 m heights.
The plant provides a great deal of nectar for pollinators. It was rated in the top 10 for most nectar production.
Young leaves and shoots can be cooked like spinach. Flowers can be added to the food or used as a salad dressing garnish. From the roots, you can get a red paint that was used to color oil or grease for a more beautiful shade.

Never heard of this plants before , Good to know about this.
Wow! I thought it is an artificial flower. I didn’t know it is edible. Thank you for the information.
I never photographed artificial flowers! ? I do not think they are as beautiful as the natural ones!
Those have got to be the most beautiful little flowers ever. We also have here flowers growing wild but I do not think I have seen ones as pretty as your bugloss. Very nice closeup of a deep blue flower.
There are many beautiful flowers, but we only notice their beauty when we look at them closely.
Love this stunning shade of blue. Such interesting facts about this flower.
It also has many therapeutic qualities.
