This flower ‘Bachelor’s Button’ (Centaurea cyanus) that I nicknamed ‘Bachelor’s of Rouen’ has been my most used profile pic. At the time we had them, there were color variations, white, pink and others., But the white caught my attention.
Although they didn’t last for long, I still kept this pic, and used it, because it symbolized a lot of Positive things to me..

to me, apart from the beauty and splendor, It symbolizes purity, and Humility.
Gardeners looking for a true blue color in a flower can’t go wrong with the old-fashioned bachelor’s button. These fully double annual flowers look like miniature carnations, only they’re much easier to grow. In fact, they are treated as weeds in some areas, because of their propensity to self-seed. often called cornflowers, are an old fashioned specimen you may recall from grandmother’s garden. I bet you can’t afford not to be charmed by the beauty of this flower.
War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.
