Centaurea Montana has large, showy, violet-blue flowers in late spring, with spidery deeply fringed flower petals. The perennial cornflower also goes by mountain cornflower, bachelor's button, montane knapweed or mountain bluet, and is in the daisy family. It grows in meadows and open woodland and flowers mainly from May to August. They are blooming quite heavily around my area the last few weeks.

When I was a kid my mother had a set of dishes printed with a repeating pattern of a blue flower. She told me they were cornflowers but I could not see the correlation with corn (like I said, I was a kid, a dumb one). Now, looking at that curving teacup-like shape it all comes back to me. And it only took about 60 years. Doh! Der! Duh!

Lovely, Kathy. Truly lovely.
