Voted 10/10 | of my childhood when the grain fields in Denmark would be full of them. Nowadays they spray against them, and they have grown much rarer. A beautiful flower, often used to compare the colour of a girl's eyes with (few can live up to that)! | | Posted Jun 10, 2008 9:09 am |

Hasn't voted | There are still areas in the Low Beskid where they don't spray the fields and you can find lots of cornflowers, poppies and chamomile in them. Greetings, Henryk. | | Posted Jun 10, 2008 4:09 pm |
