Wildflower 10: Love-in-a-mist
Nigella damascena. Jungfer im Grünen. I've featured this last year, but it's such an extraordinary flower (to me) that I thought it deserved an encore.

Lovely. Is it related to Poinsetta -- looks like the blue petals are similar in shape.
Very beautiful flower !
This morning I hung 2 birdhouses a friend gave me.
Shalom from Jerusalem. Glad to find your blog because I love and miss lovely Switzerland.
I think blue is the order of the day in nature photos. Very pretty flower!
Hi Z, thanks for posting it again. I missed the earlier one.
Oh my, this flower does look different from the others. Not to mention beautiful too.
Does it bloom all year round?
Definitely deserving of an encore - how stunning.
I love these flowers too - absolutely stunning.
What a beautiful portrait! I have these in my front garden as well.
