Eliza Waters 
This is one of my favorites. I especially enjoy plantings of mixed colors, and the use of the seed pods in dried arrangements. Of course the dew drops make this image even more delightful.
Thanks, Linda. A heavy mist that day literally made them love-in-a-mist misty!
Skillful shot!!! Compliments the title perfectly!!!
Thank you, Dawn! 🙂
One of my favourite flowers. I suspect it’s something to do with the name, but a bush full of flowers is interesting to look at too. So is the seed pod.
A lovely image to share (and view), no matter what side of the world you live on.
Thank you, Vicki. The droplets added such beauty to complement another common name: Persian Jewels.
I’ve never heard of the name Persian Jewels, but then, until I started using my current ID app. I’ve discovered many more names for the one plant. I suspect Australians use the English names (from back in colonial days) and the U.S. uses a different name for the same plant.
Showering before facing the day Eliza, refreshed and looking good 🤣
Great picture, thank you 🤗❤️🙏
Thanks, Mark! 🙂
The drops are beautifully captured 🙂
Thank you, Anne. 🙂
Beauty magnified by water. The fennel-y leaves form around the seed pod? It looks like a rose bud.
The delicately framed seed pods are just as beautiful as the flowers, IMO. I dry the pods for winter use. Best of all, they self-sow!
An interesting plant. It has a sort of alien look in your photo, but I have seen them in dried arrangements, and they look really good.
Thanks, Laurie. They self-sow, so I never have to plant them, just thin them in spring. Easy-peasy!
Nice!
Looks like a Xmas ornament!
It’d make a lovely one, spun-glass!
🙌🏼🤗♥️🍃
Thanks, Susan!
Very appropriate name for this plant, better than Devil in the Bush!
Indeed, it is a most attractive annual in my garden.
It is such a pretty flower. If I can get them to grow here, they need to be planted in the fall and bloom early spring.
It is. They show up here and there around my garden and are very easy to manage. Do yours self-sow or do you have to sow them annually?
I have to sow them. Something happens to seeds, which is probably some kind of insect removing them. Once I was planting lettuces in the ground for the second time as they did not come up and was called away for a phone call. When I came back to finish, the ants were hauling all my seeds away.
Oh, wow! Indoor starts for you, I guess.
What a delightful bloom, Eliza! So pretty.
Thank you, Dale. They are a unique flower and pod, I love them tucked here and there around the garden.
They truly are! I can well understand your love.
Soooo pretty!
Thank you, Monika!
Unique!
Thanks, Sandy. They really are unusual in the flower world.
Never seen it before!
A very easy annual from seed… comes in blue, white and pink.
How pretty! I love how purple and green compliment each other, and those dewdrops give your photo added interest. Well done, Eliza!
Thank you, Debbie!
In a literal mist it seems!

Yes, my thought exactly! 😉
Just lovely!
Thank you!
Lovely shot, Eliza! It’s pretty in all stages.
Thank you, Belinda!
What a neat shot! This is a new one to me.
Thank you, Rebecca! It’s a beautiful and easy annual to grow.
The dew drops are splendid, lovely image. I tried growing Nigella from seed lst year just because the dried flower is so interesting.
Thanks, Tom. Did you have any luck growing it? Mine (only pink and white, no blue) keeps self-sowing, so it is a matter of just managing what sprouts every spring.
Not much. I got two stems, and it didn’t reseed. I should try again!
I wonder if overwintering is key? Throw a packet down in Sept., mark the spot and see what comes up in May. 😉
I’ll give that a try!
Gorgeous photo Eliza. Was that raindrops or dew?
A fine misty rain that just begged to be captured. Thanks, Cathy!
Perfect!
Thank you, Karina!
One of my favorites.
The essence of delicate beauty!
Like glittering jewels! Beautiful!
Thank you, Tanja! I can see why their other common name is Persian Jewels. 🙂
So this would be a case of bejeweled Persian Jewels!
Ha, yes! 😉
This photo is stunning!
Thank you! 🙂 🙏
Lovely details!
Thank you, Maria!
I love this
Glad to hear it, 🙂 thank you, Sylvia!
