Blue Cornflowers are one of the few fresh, real blue flowers. A small bright bloom, the Cornflower has a ball-like center surrounded by frilly blue petals to create lovely star-like florets.In folklore, cornflowers were worn by young men in love; if the flower faded too quickly, it was taken as a sign that the man's love was not returned. Thus the bachelor button. It's also the National flower of Estonia and many organizations use this as their symbol. Beloved by many, it's a beautiful addition to your garden.
