   I believe it is a variety of cornflower. I hope this helps, they are so pretty.

      And yes, could be a cornflower.

      The leaves are very slender, like what you see just behind the flower.

   It's a corn flower aka bachelor's button.  They are an early blooming annual flower, very easy to grow from seed.  A classic cottage garden flower.  They come in pastel colors: blue, pink and white.  One of my favorites!

   Thank you all for helping. I planted a mixed bag of seeds this year. Its suppose to be a butterfly attracting mix. A few of the flowers that grew I had never seen before. This was one of them. A quick google search for cornflower as you all answered proved 100% correct ^_^  Thank you!!

      Thank you so much for choosing my answer as "best"!  What else was in your butterfly mix?

      I posted another picture as a question last night. There was also cosmos, snap dragons, marigold, mums, the one I posted and another I I'll post soon.  It all grew beautifully and easily from a little bag of seeds.
