This looks like strawflower to me. It is a warm weather annual and is dried for use in floral arrangements.

I too would say strawflower...tho the light colored flowers in front do look a little different. The darker flower in the back is strawflower.

Looks like a Bracteantha or strawflower. Are the flowers very papery feeling, do they (the flowers) close up in a little ball at night? If so, it is probably that. Here is a picture from the Brooklyn Botanical Garden
