Nigella, love it's other name "Love in a Mist". Romantic. I sowed it (and other flowers) in the veg garden for my daughter's wedding in 2005 and it still pops up, even though the earth has been rotavated.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I sowed some Nigella yesterday- hope it looks as lovely as yours Lizzie.
O is for Osteospermum. I have some that my bil dug up from his garden about five years back. It was a straggly little piece. Itcomes back every year and is lovely. Only problem it is the sort that only opens up in the sunshine.

Nasturtiums - I have alovely deep red one but this year theseeds don't seem to have germinated. Also a variegated leaf one.
Easy (usually) to grow and always cheerful to look at.
