Feeling almost compelled to post a photo about love on Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d post some photos from last May (before I started this blog) of a really cool flower called Love-in-a-mist (Nigella damascena). It is extraordinarily beautiful both as a flower and as a seed pod, although the seed pod looks a bit like an alien life form. Special thanks to Cindy Dyer, my photography mentor and fellow blogger, for introducing me to Love-in-a-mist—you should check out her blog photos of this amazing flower by clicking on her name.

an extraordinary beautiful kind of flower.. are those really prickly or soft to the touch?
I don’t know for sure, but I think they are prickly.
yes, i guess so too by the looks in the picture.. thanks for the reply 🙂
That is sooooo amazing….and great photos! 🙂
Very good photos .
Creative approach!
This was one of my favourite flowers when I lived in UK, I don’t remember them being prickly, but then my memory does play tricks
I am not sure if they are as prickly as they look. FYI, the Myers-Briggs test also pegs me as an INFP.
Fabulous, then 🙂

Continuing our conversation, now on your blog.. I see what you mean Mike. The middle photo is my favourite of the three, isn’t that wonderful?
