Garden Cutie 花園異草

We have a blue love-in-a-mist (Nigella) bush in the front garden. I don’t recall seeing a lot of flowers this year, but the weird thing is, I’m seeing a lot of seed pods now that the flowering season is over. These seed pods are the cutest things; they are like round balls with antennas on top. Some get as big as the size of a jawbreaker candy, and the stripes reminded me of an old school hard candy from my childhood.
前院花園有一小叢的藍色黑種草(英文俗名很美，叫「霧中之愛」)，今年很奇怪，好像沒看到很多花，但現在倒結了好多種果。這些種果很可愛，像顆上面有天線的小球，加上它的條紋，讓我想起小時候在迪化街買得到，長得像西瓜的糖果。
