oh, so you’re nigella?

as you know, i am bonkers about seedpods. so it comes as no surprise that love-in-a-mist, is one of my favorite plants. but for all this time, i have known and loved it only for its autumn seedpods.* today, I got to meet my first love-in-a-mist blooms at the fabulous local, sustainable, and chemical-free twin cities flower exchange. it’s like finding out your best friend of the last ten years is secretly a NYTimes best selling author, who writes under the pseudonym nigella. 

*the “seedpod” is actually a capsule of five fused seedpods
