Favorite Things

I don't know why, but I just started thinking about one of my favorite things today.  I'm not much into flowers, but I do have a favorite.


This is a batchelor button, also known as a cornflower.  They just make me happy.  I love the blue color and the fact that they just look so spunky, but also sweet.  I was introduced to them when I was ten years old.  I had gone to stay with my grandma for a week in Oregon.  She showed them to me growing wild on the sides of the road and also transplanted by her house.  I think that's one reason why they're my favorite, my trip to Grandma's house.  Also, when I was ten, I realized that they kind of match my personality.  


I love finding them growing randomly as they aren't all that common.  You can find their seeds at any Home Depot or Lowes.  They just make me smile.

I have a quart size zip lock bag full of their seeds. Where should I plant them??
