A pretty blue flower

A profile shot of this pretty blue flower. Do you recognise her. She is showing in the garden at the moment. She has two common names one of which is very attractive, however, the other is the complete opposite.
Answer will be given on Wednesday morning, when I shall also show comments of those who got the right flower.

Pretty Nigella damascena - love-in-a-mist or devil-in-the-bush

Seven pairs of very sharp eyes got the correct flower. I have named them in alphabetical order:-

Dani: got the botanical name and the pretty common name.

Gina: who got all three names correct.

Karen: who has just bought a packet of seeds to sow. She got my other flower correct too.

Marian: Her answer came zooming in as soon as the post hit the blog.

Nilly: who said it is one of her childhood favourites.

Paul: who also correctly recognised my previous flower quiz.

Rosemary: My namesake, also correctly named it.

Well done, I am impressed with you all. It is not easy to recognise small glimpses of flowers.

Hope you will check out some of their lovely blogs, which you can find in the comments section. They all have a ✓ beside their comment.
