   Beautiful, but very ‘enter at your own peril’. 😀

     That it is, one of my favorites in the garden. 🙂

   Such a delicate little bloom as though it’s suspended in filigree.

     It is a lacy little flower, so graceful! Easy to grow, nigella self-sows as an annual for me every year.

   Looks like a cornflower, but I suspect it isn’t…
   • Eliza Waters says:

     August 6, 2017 at 11:49 am

     No, not a cornflower, which is in the Aster family, while nigella is in the Ranunculus family. But the petals share that same fluffy look.

       We call this ‘love in a mist’ over here…
     • Eliza Waters says:

       August 7, 2017 at 11:37 am

       Yes, same here. A beauty no matter the name!

   Feathery looking beauty. Not much pollen? (I need to look up this interesting flower!)
   • Eliza Waters says:

     It self-sows every year. The flower comes in white, pink and blue, and the seed pod can be dried for winter bouquets.

    Cool! Love the detail and little bit of green in there.
    • Eliza Waters says:

      Thank you, Frank. Nigella is like royalty in the garden, don’t you think? Must be the little crown. 🙂

    Great capture! Nature is often beautiful, but, as in this case, it can also be cool!
    • Eliza Waters says:

      August 6, 2017 at 8:21 pm

      Thanks, C.S. – it has a very unique beauty!

    Such a complex flower! Do you know the cultivar? The petals appear much brighter than those of ‘African Bride’.

      Years ago, I put in a packet of mixed colors and they have self-sown every year since. I have no blue, but a range of mostly double white, raspberry-pink and sprinkles of pink on white. They’ve probably been happily crossing all these years, each unique!

    White! Love these flowers and their pods.
    • Eliza Waters says:

      August 7, 2017 at 11:34 am

      I know, they give us these great flowers, then lovely, striped seed pods to dry for winter. 🙂

    A beauty deserving to take center stage all to itself. I like your settings to separate it from the background.

      Thank you, Denise. These flowers deserve our full attention! 🙂
