Wild Kale Mix
Brassica oleracea 
I bought the "Wild Garden Kale Mix" from Shepherd's Seeds last year and let the resulting plants go to seed, so your guess is as good as mine as to what these plants will look like. Go to Shepherd's Seeds and do a search for "kale" to see the original seed mixture.

Cleome
Cleome spinosa
Also known as the Spider Flower, these heat and drought tolerant plants are topped with an ever-lengthening cluster of 6-8 inch spidery blossoms from early summer until frost. Cleomes look good planted among perennials and they are doubly striking when planted alone in large blocks. Attracts hummingbirds. Self sows. See link for a picture.
