Looks like flax to me Tina. I get a lot of it sprouting up from the seeds the birds drop out of the feeders. Pretty little flowers aren't they?

I would have said Nigella too, but on looking again, it could be Linum also. No help really.

Well done Glenda!!! I thought the flower was much paler and smoother than Love in the Mist but you've hit it on the head.
