or: Cornflowers on a black background…
Cornflower blue is a shade of medium-to-light blue containing relatively little green compared to blue.
This hue was one of the favourites of the Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer.
Centaurea cyanus, commonly known as cornflower or bachelor's button, is an annual flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, native to Europe.
In the past it often grew as a weed in cornfields (in the broad sense of the word "corn", referring to grains, such as wheat, barley, rye, or oats), hence its name.
It is now endangered in its native habitat by agricultural intensification, particularly over-use of herbicides, destroying its habitat.
The cornflower is considered a beneficial weed and its edible flower can be used for culinary decoration, for example to add colour to salads.
Bon Appetit!
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and beauty, M, (*_*)
