    I have just planted 7 nicotiana mutabilis - all the flowers are supposed to come a different colour. Was at shows last year, 

    narcissus - when I was young there were daffodils and the small narcissus, now they all go under the same heading (officially)

    Just planted a nandina domestica

    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.

    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.

  • 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.
