  1. I think what you have here is a Nigella damascena which is the one spread in Europe, not Nigella sativa. Here is a comparison between the two species.

    1. Hi, thanks! I thought it could be another species because Nigella damascena is usually blue and these flowers were white :-) Posted 8 years ago
      1. The colour of the flowers can range from blue to white for both species but the leaves are different. Posted 8 years ago
