I quite like the idea of rocket flowers named that way for their visual properties 🙂 Apparently our “rocket” and your “arugula” are both derived from the latin eruca. Ours via the French rocquette; yours through the Italian rucola. Gotta love Wikipedia 🙂
I often feel the same, like I´m only watering my plants and flowers for their pleasure, which in their multi-faceted eyes is probably exactly what I´m doing! 😀
They are lovely aren’t they? My radishes flowered too and they have similar flowers.

Our radishes hardly make it into the kitchen! I’m really enjoying watching the bees on all my herb flowers.
