This old fashioned beauty is the humble "Corn Flower" a garden plant in Australia which grows wild or in gardens in Europe. Like many other European triaditonal garden favorites its increasing less commonly seen in Australian gardens due to water requirements and the trend towards native plants.
Persoanlly I think out gardens should be as multicultural as modern Australia is but I'm also biased cos I love blue flowers and want to see more of them! The humble corn flower has many uses apart from just being small blue and beautiful. Also known as bachelor's button and Centaury the flowers and leaves do have medical and dye uses!
