Flowers - Love-in-a-Mist
The Love-in-a-Mist flower (Nigella damascena) is a striking annual in the buttercup family. Produces 1"-2" blossoms in shades of blue, pink, purple, and white. Fluffy petals surround a horned center seed pod, and the entire flower is surrounded by a “mist” of fern-like foliage that continues along the thin stem that grows 1'-2' tall. An old-fashioned flower with modern appeal.
