Buds of Blue

Hopefully someone can identify this blue flower - there is an open one on the left but they start out like this! Best seen large.

Isn't it a Corn Flower ?? I'll check Wiki

[Yvonne]

I don't have a clue what it is, but it sure is beautiful.

[Tony]

Looks close but not certain. Great Colour.

[Kim]

I have these but not sure of the name. Beautiful shot!

[Buffy]

Oh wow, gorgeous detail on this, especially the buds

[Maggiemae]

@tonydebont No, its not a cornflower - it comes out quite close to the leaves which are big.

[Mischell]

[Terry]

well , I do know it pretty

[Pat Knowles]

I have bought on of these plants once , it was very pretty with its rather feathery petals but I haven't a clue what it's called!!! Lovely arrangement though.

Lovely shot Maggie. The flower is Centaurea cyanus, (Cornflower)

[Maggiemae]

@tonygig thanks Tony - it doesn't come out fully like the cornflower but I looked it up and saw one picture exactly like mine - long and thin individual petals. But it did say cornflower! So great to know!

[Laraine Kensicki]

[Kathryn Marshall]
