Centaurea cyanus
(Cornflower, Bachelor's button, Bluebottle, Boutonniere flower, Hurtsickle,
Cyani flower) is a small annual flowering plant in the family Asteraceae,
native to Europe. "Cornflower" is also used for chicory, and a few other
Centaurea species; to distinguish C. cyanus from these it is sometimes called
Common Cornflower. It may also be referred to as basket flower, though the term
also refers to the Plectocephalus group of Centaurea, which is probably a
distinct genus.
