Borage

 Had 3 Borage plants last summer.  Dug them out in November as wanted that space for something else - but there were a number of seedlings which had sprung up around them and thinking the Borage must have self-sown, I transplanted them to another spot - and here they are in this photo this week.

A pink bud is appearing on one.  (The plant looks a bit messy because it's almost beneath the bird pole and a family of starlings are messy - so there is debris on the plant).

I know that Borage can have pinkish flowers, but I've forgotten if the buds come up pink or blue.  I'm wondering if this IS Borage I have here or if it could be Pink Campion seedlings.  There was a plant at the other side of the garden which I also dug up in the autumn as it was enormous - but I'm doubting (!) seed could have found its way to the Borage site.

Is this Borage I have here?  I've looked at photos but I'm not sharp enough at leaf identification as they haven't really grown much 'upwards' yet.  I think I'm getting to a really dotty point where I'm forgetting what plants I used to recognise look like.  It's maddening - in a minor way!!!! 
The buds don't look as if they hang like Borage does.
