Nigella damascena - Love-in-a-mist

"Love-in-a-mist" is one of the English names for Nigella damascena. By taking a closer look, one can get an idea where her name "Love-in-a-mist" might origin from. Light-green, lacy, finely divided threadlike bracts form the “mist” surrounding the plant’s jewel-like flowers. Nigella belongs to the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae).
