Cornflowers

Beginning spring I decided to sow Cornflowers, (Centaurea cyanus) Korenbloem.
I love the intense blue,
and they remind me of the time in my youth having them everywhere in the cornfields along with the poppy's.

They are just ready to bloom.
Look at the buds, having peeking out, just the beginning of deep cobalt blue, surrounded by purples, matching with the exact perfect greens...
