Matthiola incana / Hoary Stock
"The botanical name of the stock flower is Matthiola, a nod to Pierandrea Matthiola, who was an Italian doctor and botanist who first cultivated these flowers for their medicinal benefits. This plant first rose to popularity in England, where it was grown in English gardens and bred exclusively for ornamental use. A member of the Brassicaceae/Cruciferae (cabbage) family, stock plants are related to turnips, arugula, wasabi and canola."
