wild flowers of Grabov Rat

One of the projects I’ve imposed on myself unsucces- sfully (so far) is a catalog of wild flowers on Grabov Rat. The project feels irresistible because of an indescribable magic and appeal of those flowers, that on the top of their unimaginable diversity. And the project is frightening for the same reasons.

Love-in-a-mist (Nigella damascena). Short to medium annual, generally branched above. Leaves with slender linear divisions, uppermost leaves in a whorl just beneath the flower. Flowers pale to bright blue, rarely whitish, 20-32 mm, with yellow or greenish anthers. Fruit inflated and bladder like, the 5-6 follicles united for their entire length; seeds edible. Fields, rocky and waste places, waysides; commonly grown in gardens, where white, pink, purple and blue forms occur. Flowering times: Apr-July.

Widespread in the Mediterranean region.
