I found this beauty - Nigella (Love-in-a-Mist) 'Persian Jewels' skulking by the allotment shed, in amongst the lavender. I had forgotten that I had scattered some seed earlier this year. It was a shame to leave it there almost hidden, so it came home........
Plonked in an old school milk bottle. I can remember having my milk in a bottle at school and being a milk monitor, nearly 30 years ago. Every morning, clink clink bottles, lovely paper straws and a plate of quartered apples.
Such delicate starry detail. I will make sure I grow plenty of this flower next year. Pretty, airy blue and white flowers, although there should be pink and lilac too. I mixed it in with some cut Lavender and the smell is blissful.
How very pretty, I remember those paper straws.
