Nigella, Love-In-A-Mist


Day 359: A favorite for anyone who enjoys making dried arrangements, the seed pods of Love-In-A-Mist hold a unique grace, surrounded as they are by lacy tendrils. Although they are somewhat fragile, if kept in a spot away from curious paws and hands, they will endure for years, eventually losing color until they become a uniform and warm beige with a touch of rose. Pick as soon as the pods swell, hang upside-down in an airy warm place and you will have a touch of summer year-'round.
