Nigella damascena, commonly known as Love-in-a-Mist or Jungfer im Grünen, is an annual flowering plant belonging to the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae). Native to southern Europe and North Africa, it is well-loved in gardens for its delicate beauty and ease of cultivation. The plant features finely divided, feathery foliage and produces striking flowers in shades of blue, white, or pink, which are surrounded by thread-like bracts that create a misty or airy appearance.
Beyond its ornamental charm, Nigella damascena also holds ecological value. It serves as a nectar and pollen source for various pollinators, including bees and hoverflies, supporting the health and diversity of garden ecosystems. The plant self-seeds readily, helping to maintain ground cover and reduce soil erosion, particularly in cottage gardens or wildflower patches. Additionally, it can play a beneficial role in companion planting by attracting pollinators to nearby vegetables and herbs. With minimal care required, Love-in-a-Mist offers both aesthetic and ecological benefits, making it a valuable addition to pollinator-friendly gardens.

Nigella damascena – das klingt nach Orient und Bazar, so auch in der Eindeutschung „Damaszener Schwarzkümmel“.
Als „Jungfer im Grünen“ ist sie ein gern gesehener Gast im Bauern- und Naturgarten.

Nigella damascena – the name alone conjures up spice markets and stories from the East.
Known in English as “Love-in-a-Mist”, it’s a welcome sight in any cottage or natural garden.

Wenn man diese #Blume bekam, hatte man wohl die "Gunst der Verehrten" #verloren. Also passend zum Thema der #52WochenFotoChallenge von @norberteder.

This was an exercise in creating a background on which to print an image.

I put the paper on the floor, and dripped chemicals on it until I was happy.

Once it was dry, I made an image of some Nigella (Love-in-a-mist) on it.

I do love the creative flexibility that using raw chemicals gives you in printing cyanotypes.

Lots of splatters of blue, more or less joined together in an abstract conglomeration which looks spiky and explosive. Within the splatters, the delicate white shape of nigella stems and flower heads emerge. Their pointed fronds echo the spikes of the splatters

Nigella, or Love-in-a Mist. One of my favourite flowers.

I've made a few cyanotypes using their flowers and seed heads. This one is a contact print (made in a contact frame).

Cyanotype (blue background, white image) of nigells flower heads. Two 5-petalled flowers with spiky tendrils expanding from their centres.
