The Nigella Flowers (Nigella damascena) earns its common name of Love-in-a-Mist. 
It's look quite delicate and the thread-like leaves are very pretty. 
But it is no wimp, because it can get through the winter without needing to be covered up.  
Once you see Nigella in bloom, you will always recognize it by its unique mist of airy bracts and foliage.
The foliage is ferny, the flowers are fluffy and the seed pods are intriguing.  
Nigella represents harmony and love.
The flower is a symbol of the bonds that bind people together.


Green dragontail butterfly is a small butterfly,  
basically black and white in colour scheme, but it has a very large white-tipped tail. 
The fore wing has a triangular glass-like patch with black borders, and thin black stripes along the veins.
It also has a pale band running obliquely across the pre-discal area.
This band is continued onto the black hindwing which bears the long tail and prominent abdominal wing fold.
