This beautiful flower arrangement on the theme of ‘Pollination’ was created by Jane Belcher and incorporates the blue flowers of Nigella damascena (love-in-a-mist, bird's nest, blue spiderflower, kiss-me-twice-before-I-rise, lady in the bower, love-in-a-puzzle, love-in-a-tangle). This upright, annual has feathery foliage with flowers followed by decorative, inflated seed capsules which are also useful for floral displays. The work received a well deserved Gold medal at the Royal Horticultural Society Chelsea Flower Show, London.
