What color are the petals of a cornflower?
Introduction: Let's explore the color of cornflower petals and the planting methods of this green plant, as well as the content related to cornflower cultivation.
At first sight, the cornflower seems to be a flower with noble气质 due to its unique blue color.
In my middle school days, my favorite color was blue, because I felt it was the color of the ocean, the sky, and also the color of dreams, longing, and sadness. Although I was young and tried to express sadness by writing new words, the "sadness" I expressed was also blue. I bought blue clothes, regretting why my parents named me something other than "blue," and even had the urge to change my name for a while.
Now I still love blue and no longer worry about my name. I no longer have so many irrelevant thoughts, the most direct manifestation of which is that I like all blue flowers.
There are many kinds of blue flowers, such as dayflower, forget-me-nots, morning glories, and today's star, the cornflower.
All blue flowers seem to come from a distant dream or another planet, or perhaps the deepest part of the ocean.
Their temperament must be different from that of other flowers.
"Far out in the sea, the water is so blue, like the most beautiful cornflower petals, and at the same time so clear, like the brightest glass," the cornflower in Andersen's pen has the beauty of a fairy tale world, surpassing the ordinary.
But in reality, the cornflower seems not so mysterious. Its English name is cornflower, where "corn" means grain or field, directly translated as the flower of the field. It turns out that such a beautiful flower has such an ordinary origin. Plants are never distinguished by status, as long as you like them, weeds can also be roses.
What color are the petals of a cornflower?
After horticultural cultivation, cornflowers come in more colors, such as white, pink, purple, etc., but blue remains the most beautiful.
The petals of the cornflower look very delicate and exquisite, with deep锯齿状 splits. The name "cornflower" is derived from its Chinese name, which interestingly, is related to the Japanese language. "Yikasa" is a Japanese word referring to something similar to a windmill, but it seems that Chinese windmills do not have锯齿.
In early May, it is Children's Day in Japan, when they hang colorful carp flags on "Yikasa" to celebrate and pray for their children's healthy and happy growth. Looking closely at the cornflower, it indeed resembles the Japanese Yikasa, and this exotic name is unknown to most people.
The故乡 of the cornflower is the beautiful Europe, where they bloom everywhere, and the blue of the cornflower flows into a sea of flowers. In different European countries, it holds an important status. It is one of the symbols of Germany and the national flower of Estonia. It often appears in important symbols and anniversary celebrations.
