Nigella hispanica 'Delft Blue'
Hardy Annual with unique, 1½–2" flowers named for the famous Dutch Delft blue pottery. (with a bit more purple tone) White petals are brushed with a watercolour wash of varying shades of blue and gray with intricate deep-purple centers - fantastic at attracting pollinators. Produces unusual seed pods that can be used in fresh or dried arrangements. (Erin at Floret "...my favorites including ‘Delft Blue'..")
They excel as long-lasting cut flowers (7 days esp with preservative)  Seed pods are equally as breathtaking.

Papaver somniferum This ancient form of poppy is perhaps the most unique variety of all! It has amazing large pink blooms, but the very cool thing is clusters of mini pods that surround the primary seed pod! The name refers to its resemblance to a hen being surrounded by her chicks.  Highly coveted by fine florists who use the unusual seed heads in arrangements.
