Statice. Limonium perizii Some people call this straw flowers. They do very well in my xeriscape garden on the other side of the driveway. This garden gets basically no water at all and these flowers put on a show almost all of the time. The plant also reseeds itself, so if a plant or two dies, there are more volunteers to fill in.
The flowers can even be cut and placed in a vase with no water! The flowers do dry out and die, but they keep their shape and color fairly well. As long as you don't brush up against them, they can decorate your home all the time.
Though the Ogren book lists them as a "3" I do react to the flowers when they are inside. I enjoy them thoroughly outside though.
