I luuuuuve the flavour of black cumin as seed or powder. It’s very widely used in eastern mediteranean / Arabic cooking. I had absolutely no idea that this flower was responsible for it (or at least a relative). Only when I researched the name of this pod (which I also didn’t connect t the blue flower, vaguely similar to a cornflower) did I realise this.

A lovely photo Elke. Most unusual plant. I have used Nigella seeds in cooking. Can’t remember what it was though

It definitely is. I often research before I post and learn that way. And of course, learning from others.
