'Love-In-A-Mist'

The beautiful Nigella flower is often called 'Love-In-A-Mist' because of its tangle of ferny, fennel- like foliage that seems to form a mist around the flowers. It's a very fragile little plant which sways in the merest of breezes, the flower head itself probably no more than the size of a 20p piece, and it is both delicate and very intricate.
