bachelor button
Garden flower, blue
Bachelor button is a flowering plant with shaggy, button-shaped blooms, typically bright blue but sometimes pink, white, or purple.
Also called cornflower, it grows wild in grain fields and is popular in gardens and cut-flower arrangements.
The name supposedly comes from the old custom of bachelors wearing a flower in their buttonhole to signal availability.
