plant name help

Hi,
Last year my daughter grew a kids seed mix in pots on the patio. In it was a tall flower that had 'paper' petals. I cant remember what it was called :cnfs:
She wants to grow them again this year. can anyone help with its name so I can get her a packet of seeds please?

 

Hmmm.

Maybe they were helichrysums?

Here's a picture:

What's the plant that grows silvery papery leaves/flowers, with the seeds clearly pressed inside (maybe these develop as I've never seen them growing, only in dried flower arrangement)> I'm flailing here for a name, help me!

 

Yep! Honesty. See, told you I hadn't seen the flowers, I had no idea they were purple!

 

I thought Honesty after reading that description as well:thmb:

 

Besides Helichrysum, I thought perhaps Limonium (Statice or Sea Lavender) ....




or Ranunculus asiaticus (Persian Buttercup) ....



.... but I would think the first over the second.

 

It`s quite a broad description-I think it`s nice how it fires up different things to different people,

for instance I immediately think of this oriental poppy.

 

I could see this becoming a game: describe a flower in one sentence. The public guesses!

 

Thanks guys
