Mystery Plant

Let me start off by saying Hi.

Hi :D

I am new here and to this gardening lark, so please don't hurt yourselves falling off your chairs laughing whilst reading my questions.

1st Question is, does anybody know what this plant is?



We have them growing all over the garden, and while they are pretty they are starting to take over.

They are around 2 - 3 feet tall, and the flowers die back to big paper like seed pods which promptly burst spreading seeds all over the place ( I kinda figured that why they are taking over )

If you want any more info just ask me.

yup, it's love in a mist, i think the proper name is nigella damascena. it's an annual

 

Ahh so its a real plant, and not a weed?

Its difficult to tell in our garden whats meant to be here and what isnt, we havent been here long and the garden is..........umm, well you can see for your self.



Wild, I think is the word your looking for.

BTW the bees love this garden, lol.

 

ah, yes - you like a challenge?

as for the nigella seeds, don't despair, you can always sell them on eBay.

RE: the rest of the garden, feel free to ask for help with any aspect of it, the people here are very friendly and helpful!

 

Many thanks for the info , and reply Lynne, I am sure I will be back with more questions.
