Cornflower, scientifically known as **Centaurea cyanus**, is a charming annual flowering plant belonging to the Asteraceae family. Native to Europe, this vibrant plant was historically prevalent as a weed in crop fields. Its name is derived from its tendency to grow among grains like wheat, barley, rye, and oats, which are often referred to as "corn fields" in the UK.
