So, that's a corn flower! I know the name from the crayon box (smile), but I've never seen one. Great shots. :-)

Thanks, 2sweetnsaxy :)
I think the name makes no sense in English, because the flower doesn't grow in corn fields. It grows in wheat fields and that's what it means in German "wheat flower" :D
I haven't seen them in Germany for years, but here they are quite in abundance :)

Nice wild flowers !That yellow could be Field Mustard but I'm not sure. But I have seen that flower here by the fields too. Summer makes everything bloom. there is so many wild flowers now although it has been cold yet :yes:

Thanks, Nukke, but nope, Field mustard is what we call "Raps" / "Rape field". The blossoms are different too. :)

Very unusual looking flowers. The bottom one looks like a wild flower to me!

Thanks, Anne Fannie.
Just found out with some help what the bottom one is :)
They are both pretty common here in Europe :)

Wolfsmilchgewächse gibts hier noch genug, die Kornblumen aber werden immer seltener, dabei sind sie echt schön.
Sei lieb gegrüßt

Nicole, I didn't realize that my website would be displayed. I see it now. I'm so sorry, but can you delete the above post? I've had problems with spam, and I don't want to have to enable comment moderation.

In the mean time, this is a lovely post, and I love the blue flower the best. Lovely photographs!

Thanks for your help.

Happy Blue Monday...

Sheila :-)

The cornflower is one of my favorite... so delicate and the little petals are small flowers in themselves. Lovely.

Your Corn Flower we call Bachelor Buttons, and I have never seen Leafy Spurge. That is a very interesting plant.
