Description
Manipulated image. This beautiful blue flower found in Barbaresco, Italy, is called 'Love in the Mist'. Nigella damascena (ragged lady, devil-in-the-bush) is an annual garden flowering plant, belonging to the buttercup family Ranunculaceae. It is native to southern Europe, but adventive in more northern countries of Europe. The plant's common name comes from the flower being nestled in a ring of multifid, lacy bracts. Nigella earns its common name of Love-in-a-Mist with a tangle of ferny, fennel like foliage that form a mist around the flowers. You will always recognize it by its unique mist of airy bracts and foliage. The foliage is ferny, the flowers are fluffy and the seed pods are intriguing. Best known for the vivid blue blossom variety. Photograph digitally enhanced and painted.
