problem with borage

18 years ago

At least I think it's a problem. This is the first time I've tried to plant it. I have one borage plant in a 16" pot, it's growing well and developing flower buds. But the leaves are chartreuse with dark veins. Chlorosis?

I tried googling and searching here to see if that might be the case, but I can't find anything regarding diseases affecting borage. The plant seems to be healthy other than the leaf color. Should I just ignore it?

Also, it seems that ants (small ones) have built a nest in the pot, should this be a problem? Could it be causing the problem?

Any advice is appreciated!
