Phear my mad botany skillz! That's Borretsch, or borago officinalis, "borage" in English (or so Leo tells me). It's edible. But please don't take my word for it and go pluck it and stick it in your salad, because I only have your pictures to judge from and it could still be some kind of poisonous weed I've never seen in any lecture. (I'm pretty sure it's borage, though.)
Despite the "officinalis" bit, I don't think I've ever heard of it having any pharmaceutic properties. Hm. I'm too lazy to look it up right now :p
But I think "fluffy flowers" sounds a lot prettier :)
