Author Notes
This is for my FS buddy, Loyd Taylor, whose favorite color is blue. Bachelor's buttons, another name for cornflowers, are cornflower blue, a shade close to azure blue. Flower experts say they are the truest blue flower. They even used to be used to extract pigment for cyan/blue dye. Ever wonder when you were a kid using cornflower Crayola crayons why a blue crayon was called cornflower? It's because these wildflowers often used to grow in corn fields before modern farming methods made that less common.
The Bedazzler is a craft tool used by children and hobbyists to decorate cloth - one sort of staples rhinestones onto tee shirts and jeans, etc. to bedazzle/decorate them.
There are no photos of this wildflower that I can find on FanArt, hence my use of this whimsical painting.
