History
This delicate blue flower thrives in the wheat fields of the Mediterranean basin.
In Antiquity, this plant recalled the legend of the young Cyanus, who died in a field of ripe wheat and was turned into a cornflower.
A symbol of paradise thanks to its sky blue colour, it was commonly used to treat snake bites.
