Strangely Beautiful

I don't know what this flower is but it seems to grow wild around here, unless it spread from gardens. etc. Anyway, I found it to be unusual and yet quite beautiful. Anyone know what the name is?
Thank you to those who identified the flower as 'Nigella' (Love in a Mist)

Very nice light.
Jack Hoying28-May-2014 14:49
That sure is a beauty!
Laura Milholland28-May-2014 14:48
I was wondering if it was "Love in a Mist" also. I have a shot of one that has more petals, but the frilly leafy tendrils and the center look the same as yours - so it must be right.
http://www.pbase.com/milholland_l/image/122529502 I love your pretty shot of it. :)

Don't know what it is, but it sure is pretty. Is that a ladybug on it or a seed?
