cornflower
Blue meadow wildflower
Cornflower is a wildflower with bright blue, fringed petals, traditionally found growing among grain crops.
The blue is distinctive enough that cornflower serves as a color name—a medium blue, lighter than navy but more vivid than powder blue: a cornflower blue dress, eyes the color of cornflowers.
