Nigella or Love-In-A-Mist

Nigella or Love-In-A-Mist flowers. I can't wait until I see these growing in my garden again.

Nigella damascena (love-in-a-mist, ragged ladyor devil in the bush) is an annual garden flowering plant, belonging to the buttercup family Ranunculaceae.

These are the most wonderful stone lawn sculptures I've seen, while traveling the islands during the 9th annual Discover the Heart of the Islands: Open Farm and Studio Tour. These castles are built by Harry Barber, who was born in Switzerland and always had a strong fondness for the castles found throughout the country. He created miniature buildings from local Vermont field stone. He was a passionate gardener and groundskeeper, and often loved to enhance the look of his properties by constructing beautiful castles, fountains and stone walls made from local field stone.
