The field of blue cornflowers competes with the cloudless sky and the blueness of the river water. And on a sunny hillock, a friendly flock looks at the world with blue flowers of Chicory. And many more plants donned outfits of heavenly color
Cornflowers
They do not like very much
Cornflowers farmers growing cereals, especially rye. And gardeners do not like him too much. With its persistence and unpretentiousness of a wild plant, it interferes with decent harvests of the crops they grow. But when Vasilek finds shelter in the fields, which have not yet reached the hands of a person, then it is impossible not to fall in love with him. It is not without reason that cornflowers inspire poets and artists of all times, and possibly all peoples, to beautiful lines and paintings.
But not only poets and artists "use" the plant. Cornflower leaves, covered with cobweb fur, contain three flavors at once: lemon, carnation and mint, and therefore add a special flavor to marinades and pickles from vegetables, canned meat, sausages and pates.
Blue flowers of Cornflower, possessing diuretic abilities, will help the kidneys to better cope with their functions in the body.
They can be used to dye fabrics blue, or to diversify Easter eggs with a turquoise hue.
Meadow geranium
Like people who differ in skin color depending on where they live, Geranium is distinguished by the color of its flower petals. Geranium, living in the forest, prefers purple or crimson petals, and Geranium of open places, located on wastelands, meadows, roadsides, called
Meadow geraniumdressing up petals in blue-violet color.

Garden forms of Meadow Geranium with larger flowers and double flowers were bred.
Chicory
I can't ignore my favorite plant
Chicory … Its delicate blue flowers joyfully look at the world for only half a day, and then their petals fall off, giving way to seeds. This does not mean at all that the flowering period of Chicory is so short. In the early morning, the fallen flowers are replaced by others. And so the whole summer period lasts.
As the song says, even in 5 minutes you can do a lot, and even more so in half a day. Therefore, the flowers of the plant have time to make the world more elegant, sweeter and more tender.
Young leaves are good for a vitamin salad, and from the roots you can make an invigorating drink that will recharge you with energy for the whole long working day.
Crowded bell
All kinds of bells can not be found in our fields and meadows. They like to be distributed in different ways on the peduncle. There are among them

It's hard not to notice in the meadow quite tall
