Friday's Fascinating Flower Facts

Cornflowers can be used to make tea and have been used in traditional herbal medicine as an anti-inflammatory. The flowers are edible and have a sweet, cucumber-like taste. The name cornflower comes from the fact the flowers grow abundantly in corn fields in Europe. They are also known as Bachelor's Buttons, Blue Bottle, Basket flower, and Boutonniere flower
