Linda, as I recall --although you may not-- many moons ago I sent you some 
seeds of Linaria pupurea 'Canon J. Went", a very nice selection of a European 
toadflax with delicate feathery blue-grey foliage like little bottlebrushes and 
spikes of pale pink flowers resembling very small snapdragons. The plant 
reseeds prolifically and generally comes true, although the purple of the species 
reappears occasionally. There is also a white form in trade under--if memory 
serves--the name of another Anglican clergyman. Sound familiar? Looks like 18" 
tall larkspur? Is any of that still with for you? I realize the scale of the 
thing would be way off for the more dramatic effects you are creating with 
squash and whatnot.

Cordially,
