A yellow-green Nigella
Most of the nigellas we have are the usual blue "love in a mist" variety. A few have put up yellow/green flowers instead. I'm not sure if this is just a variety of N. damascena or if it is a separate species
Jams you have so many different varieties in your garden that I am wondering how many hectares you have. Or are they all standing on top of each other?
I've taken photos of your flowers (and of Sean's garden), and I'm visiting our Toronto Botanical Gardens with my son, on Mother's Day, hoping to see and smell all the beautiful flowers you've posted. Thank you!

ReplyDeleteI am trying to get my head round James' comment too!!!
I know nothing about plants so I'd never heard of it. It's very pretty.

ReplyDeleteThanks everyone, jmb we don't have a big garden (30x3m). The not-wife knows how to pack in the plants!
