White Nigella from multi-colored mix. These are so pretty in person - hard to capture their enchanting delicacy on film.
Nigella growing in my little wildflower meadow. Gets full sun, little water - and looks great! My favorite new flower.

Nigella 'Love in a Mist' - lovely blue flower
This appeared wild in my garden , escaped from somewhere and shows up here from time to time .. savig seeds this time
it often shows up here looking like this
This appeared all of its own in our bird island, where lava rocks, mosses and sunflowers grow. We feed no whole seeds, so likely a 'dropping' from another location. Thanks! Pretty!
