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.

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?

Thank you all for your comments! I'm sorry it took me so long to respond.

Tash: I don't think so, though I do see what you mean.

Claude: I saw them, they look really nice!

Dina: Peace to you too, and welcome to my Villigen blog!

RR: I have a great weakness for blue flowers and if I plan a garden, I think it shall have mostly blue and white flowers.

MJ: No, only when it's warm enough.

d of d&t, Jackie and Elaine: Glad you all think so. :-)
