Those of you who guessed flowers are right! The first time we saw these, Phil thought for sure they were weeds. They are in fact the weediest flowers I have ever seen! Their name is Love-In-A-Mist, and they are a member of the buttercup family. They have been cultivated for over 400 years, and they will grow up to two feet tall! The names of the flower colors are really a scream...Miss Jekyll, Persian Jewels, Dwarf Moody Blues. The last two pictures are their fruit, a large inflated capsule that contains the seeds. Actually, I think everything about this flower is just a little bit creepy!

I have never seen these flowers before but they are beautiful. Those are great names for these blooms but they make me think of Tim Burton movies. These flowers would have made a great bouquet for The Corpse Bride. LOL!
Their names are unique.. each flower have their own special kind of look! :)
I love the header showing them all together, they would look lovely as an embroidery.

Wow two feet tall? That's amazing. They are definitely quite unique that's for sure.

Huh I have never seen anything like them!
I can't say I like the seed pods,but the flower nestled in that delicate foliage is quite attractive,I think.
What a wonderful name for an intriguing flower!
Great macro's Ginny, the flowers seems very wild and with sharp elements.
Greetings,

Flowers are one of my greatest loves. You really brightened my day with these beauties.
These are so unusual looking. I really like them! You find the best stuff. :)
I've never heard of them before but they are very unique.
These are amazing. Are they indigenous to your area?
I guessed a weed....LOL. What do I know. They are pretty.
Not creepy Ginny, creative!!! Only God could come up with something as unique as this! Thanks for sharing your unique and beautiful gift! I love seeing the world through your eyes!
How do people come up with names - I've often wondered! They are a delicate bloom, very casual, unpretentious, and your photo is beautiful!
Hi Ginny, Looking just at the leaves and stems, they look a little like Cosmos. Now I know the identification of the flower. Weird-looking but pretty in the right spot in a garden. Glad you showed this. Have a super day!
