Nigella (Love-in-a-mist)

May is the time of year when the Nigella flowers open. They are interesting plants from bud, to flower to seed pod. Here are a selection of photographs capturing this flower at the flowering stage… I will document this flower throughout the seasons. The plant is easy to grow and self-seeds, which guarantees an abundance of blooms the following year.

Love the transition from flower to seed pod…. more to come as they develop
