This one single, vivid blue cornflower, otherwise known as the bachelor's button (Centaurea cyanus), caught my eye as we gallavanted through a local Arizona garden one day, The white bloom behind it also grabbed my attention, but the composition ultimately lent itself to giving the daisy a sense of distance, as if to keep itself just out of the line of the "bachelor's" sight. I was mesmerized by the cornflower's petals striking contrast with flowers in the distance, making it clear that he wanted to be seen.
