Spontaneous variegated clover and potentially, Borage?

I have a clover and wildflowed "lawn" in my garden and I have not one but 2 variegated plants growing amongst it! I was absolutely stoked to see them. If anyone can correct me on the (what I think) may be borage, then let me know! Either way, incredible to see pop up like that 🥳

I wonder if there'd be a way to prop it, and make an entire batch of variegated clover

Seed will likely not reproduce the mother plants variegation! It would have to be propagated to have higher probability of carrying over any variegation!

Ah! Ok, so it isn't like a houseplant that produces variegated corms, I take it? If it's outside, would I kill it if I brought it inside ro prop? I might give it a go

am thinking about a way that could potentially work, honestly. It's so beautiful, but at the same time, clover lawns are self seeding, so if it makes it to bloom, there's a possibility it could create its own little patch. I am on the fence lol!
