Fuzzy leaves, small thistle like flowers...not bachelor buttons...more compact...growth tended to be leggy and drooped and swept back up...I thought it was Jamaican Buttons or Spanish Buttons...but tonight this popped into my head,,,Brazilian Buttons...yes, it was Brazilian and I think Buttons...now if one would just pop up in my garden, I'd be all set! Any other ideas?

Or Mexican Bachelor Buttons, Centratherum camporum.

Here are the PDB entries for both: http://plantsdatabase.com/b/none/Centratherum/
