Nigella ciliarus
The first of all the seeds, which I planted in October, to produce flowers this year.
I had acquired the seeds, which originated in Cyprus 2020, from Chantal who runs
THE MEDITERRANEAN GARDEN SOCIETY Seed Exchange
The first flower opened on the first of March followed by more on 12th March
Now I wish I had planted them in a bigger container
I found the flower rather nondescript while the seed pods are wonderful.
This annual is mentioned in
