Umber Skipper and the Borage leaf

Oh how the umber skippers Poanes melane love to rest on the borage leaves.

I recently purchased two borage plants because the borage we had just didn't reseed. The two plants we had transplanted to the native garden patch last year bloomed shortly, then dried up.

And now that these new plants are thriving, the skippers have more leaves and blossoms to visit.
