cornflowers
Blue meadow blooms
Cornflowers are wildflowers with bright blue, fringed petals, traditionally found growing among grain crops.
The distinctive blue has become a color term: cornflower blue.
Also called bachelor's buttons, they're used in dried flower arrangements and occasionally as edible garnish.
