Sometimes some phrases may sound like a contradiction, for example today when I saw the task of presenting a photograph that would combine elegance and a flower with sharp thorns but it is enough to weigh it and everything falls into place.

Elegance, it is not flashy but always a little key lol especially for those who do not adhere to elegance in something.

Based on this I without hesitation turned to my photograph in which I captured a very elegant and at the same time quite a thorny flower of a plant called Nigēlla satīva.

Thin as Chinese silk petals are emphasized by the impressive size of the thorns of this medicinal plant the seeds of which are used as medicinal decoctions.

This flower is beautiful both when its petals are open and when it decided to take a little nap.

I saw your contest a couple of minutes ago, I hope I'm not late with the publication :)
