That is Nigella damascena, Love-in-a-Mist, I have had some that self-sows and keeps coming back every spring for the last 20 years. I bought some seeds this year that have more colors, since mine are only blue, the lavender color is pretty. They are edible, but the one used more for food is Nigella sativa, Black Cumin, used for its very healthy oil.
So beautiful Gemma, happy holidays.
