Description
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. It is also, however, through introduction as an ornamental plant in gardens and a seed contaminant in crop seeds, now naturalised in many other parts of the world, including North America and parts of Australia.

J'aime beaucoup les centaurées, superbe capture, Mo!
Very nice photo. It looks like the flower is floating in the air.
Good looking blue on it, and great capture.
Great capture. I think I see some dandelions back there, too. :)
I love this wonderful shot applause indeed!!
Very nice! Excellent!
C'est vrai qu'il avait complètement disparu, pendant des années, avec les coquelicots ! ils reviennent un peu, petit à petit... Une belle photo !
Ces différentes teintes bleutée sont absolument magnifiques !!!
