I caught a glimpse if f95r1 today and now that i have grown it, it think i recognize Cerinthe.
But it is not literal unless you read out the characteristics.

Clasping, aternating leaves that go all the way to the flowers (the ones not painted are kind of ghosts and are not really there) but there is actally part of the leaf directly across the stem, as it clasps well beyond the stem.
The ends of the flowers alternate pinkish red and white (one of the ones i have are exactly that, it has two flowers, one is almost white, the other is pink and white, my other one from different seed, the first one is pink with white at the ends, the older one is blue with pink and white.).
The drooping flower bracts are blue, or can be white, or green (ie no colour influence, white can be also depicting clear, or absence of colour) . In fact younger ones will be more likely to be without blue than older ones. (note the three stems, one is all blue flowers, it will be the oldest. The one with two white ones is so young the heads haven't dropped yet.)
The flowers droop from long slender stalks with clasping alternating leaves culminating in bracts that turn colour as they age.
