194/365: "I always find beauty in things that are odd and imperfect - they are much more interesting." ~ Marc Jacobs
This is the flower I was planning to feature a couple of days ago when the hoverfly zoomed in and demanded center stage! :D These are called Bachelor Buttons or Cornflowers. Did you know this is the national flower of Estonia, France and Germany?! It's known as a "Bachelor's Button" because at one time, young men would wear this flower to show they were in love. However, this flower is also worn as a symbol in different countries for many reasons including honoring veterans and showing political favoritism. This flower is considered a "beneficial weed" because it's edible and is used in tea and sometimes in salads! If you'd like to know more about this beautiful, popular flower, Wiki has a great page here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornflower
The reason I chose today's quote is because the composition in my opinion is off...I really wanted to get that flower on a third but to do that, I'd have to crop out important elements in the background. I think that this image has good balance but that flower in front...is so centered!
