Lupine?

They almost look like a cross between delphinium and stock which doesn't help you, I know. My guess is delphinium although the individual florets appear a bit small.

Not clear enough for me, but my first thought was astilbe. Try posting to the name that plant forum. Those guys are good!

They are not delphiniums, astilbe, stock or lupines. I am not sure they are real plants at all......the flowers do not look like anything familiar or widely grown.

Maybe Larkspur? Do you know if the flowers in the picture are real? If they're artificial flowers, they may not be made to look exactly like any particular flower.

Looks like heather and maybe lavender to me.

I’ve been puzzling over this photo. They share some similarities with the flowers named above but are not any of those. I think they are fake, feathery plumes.

I agree - FFPs.

The white and purple ones look to me like they could be Veronica spicata (spike speedwell).

I have no idea if they're artificial or not, it doesn't matter. I'm going to look up all the names suggested, but Beckysharp, they do resemble veronica spicata.

Sergeant, "feathery plumes" are what attracts me. Similar to Lavender plumes.

Lupines are a bigger flower, not sure if there's a variety that's thinner.

They kind of look like a type of Celosia.

Veronica spicata was also my first guess. But it does have a resemblance to some celosia, although smaller and more structured than most I have seen.

The bottom one is fake lavender, so possibly the top is just fake lavender in fantasy colors

The darker purple and pink flowers are celosia-ish, but the lighter ones don't look like celosia. Celosia is more squat and triangular, though it does have the fuzziness/featheriness.

I think they are fake.

Again, I don't care if they're fake, I'm looking for similar flowers to grow. I've seen the ones above, and I grow Lavender too, but I'm trying to pinpoint the exact names.

Lavender has round tips, not pointed.

Becky, look at this Wheat Celosia. That would be perfect.

It's the third picture.

The blue ones look sort of like faux perovskia. The pastels seem like...colored faux perovskia. Clethra maybe? Almost seems like a few different forms in there.

It's weird--they DO look familiar, but not quite.

Faux! I'm a professional horticultural.....these stick out like a sore thumb, to my eyes. Strictly for photo ops.

But what are they imitating?

Like rhizo, I too am a professional horticulturist and these are not real nor do they resemble very closely any that are real. The Veronica spicata is about as close as you will get but Physostegia virginiana is a possibility as is Linaria purpurea. To my eye they don't look very close to Celosia spicta at all - those are much fluffier than these, and with no distinct blossoms showing. But if you just want something that just looks similar, any of the above - and even lavender - can work.

Oakley, for what it's worth, I'm in Zone 2 or 3 (near Edmonton, Alberta, with winters down to -40) and Veronica spicata, the blue/purple and white, grows like a weed for me. Very prolific and tough (needs little if any attention, water, fertilizer etc), and blooms/reblooms all summer. I pick it by the armsful in the summer for cut flowers. It has naturalized EVERYWHERE.

If you want an easy and tough pink lookalike, take a look at some of the pink salvias.

Veronica spicata comes in pink.....and white and blue and purple, as well as a darker, almost cherry red color.

When I first saw the pic I thought some of the blooms might be Buddelia, esp. the purple one lower right.

Like I said...I don't care if they're fake, I was wondering if there were flowers that look like those in the picture. I'm pretty certain they're either silk or dried and and some have been sprayed or flocked with a different color.

Becky, you're lucky! We grow a lot of flowers on the outside of our greenhouse for cutting. I didn't know there was a pink Salvia, and the flowers above sure look like them. They'd look nice mixed with the purple salvia.

Today I saw some on a shrub in my neighborhood that looked similar. These were white. I did not have my phone or I would have snapped a pic. I had never noticed that shrub before!
