Nigella or Love in a Mist (Nigella damascena (Love-in-a-mist))

rather fascinating flower, love the colour and strange design of the flowers. these self seed each summer, or at least they have for several years now.

I agree with Skippy, hope they go seeding themselves for you to enjoy!

thanks to Skippy and Pansypotter for the nice comments. It is a pretty flower. Last summer some of them turned out to be a paler blue, which I was kindof sorry about, as prefer this shade of blue.
