Janice, I think you are referring to Scabiosa ochroleuca, a pale creamy
yellow (much like Coreopsis 'Moonbeam') with frilly, almost fern-like,
foliage. It is a species and should come true from seed if you can find a
plant somewhere. It is not difficult to start from seed. It is very nice
mixed with the blue Scabiosa 'Fama'. Both have nice long stems for cut
flowers. Marilyn
