Virginia stock / Malcolmia maritima

Cultivated, from our garden. Normally associated with more sandy habitats but it seems to be doing fine. Its flowers can be white, pink, or purple.

  Hah, "dreamy" is a good word as it's literally in the lens name:

        You realize that by telling me not to do something, that is the first thing I did -- even before watching the video?! It is a very pretty lens. Posted 4 years ago

        Hehe, of course I knew that. Here's more background info you didn't ask for. The "Noct" label is in reference to a 1977 legendary Nikon lens:
        https://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/58.htm
        
        It was specifically praised for being so wide open (f/1.2) that it allowed for night time shooting (nocturnal) without a tripod and for rendering light points (stars) beautifully. It has since become a very wanted collectors item.
        
        This modern f/0.95 lens mostly is a "because we can" lens. Super heavy and impractical. Posted 4 years ago

        The 1977 lens sounds amazing.
