To answer the question about the color, I have not changed or enhanced the photo in any way. I just clicked on the link that Flower Fanatic sent and the photos there show what I’ve got in the front yard – it’s Cupids’ dart! Thank you so much – I appreciate the responses from all who took the time to help answer my inquiry.

The color isn’t quite right for the Drumstick Allium…Allium sphaerocephalum but the shape is almost right. That’s my best guess. Is the color in the picture true or has there been a color shift in the photograph?

Maybe Cupid’s dart (Catananche caerulea). http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/382/

That silvery seed cone makes me think maybe something in the Allium genus. I wish I could see a full head of flowers though.
