Cornflower field Painting

In the Aster family there is a wonderful flower-cornflower. According to ancient Greek myth, the plant was so named after the centaur Chiron was cured of the poison of the Lernaean hydra with its help. This blue field flower is immortalized in the logo of Belarus as a symbol of the country.The cornflower is not only a symbol of Belarus, since time immemorial characteristic of the ornaments of our land. This flower, which grows in rye, is also a symbol of a person who is engaged in agricultural work, because it usually grows on plowed land occupied by winter cereals. Because of this proximity to grain crops, many legends were born. The main essence of the legends is that the farmer could admire not only those plants that give him grain, but also seemingly inconspicuous flowers. This beautiful blue flower adorned his daily cares.
