Bachelor Button Polka Dot Seeds Art Pack

Where art and horticulture meet.

Seeds: JFK wore this flower at his wedding as a tribute to his father. When he did so, he stepped into dialogue with centuries of symbolic meaning given to this bloom. It was once worn by bachelors to test if their courting was successful (if the bloom withered quickly the young couple's love was not to last, so they said). In our minds, these flowers are as masculine an accessory as a tie, a briefcase, or a derby hat. Also known as Cornflower, the Bachelor Button can reach heights of 3 feet and is a great cutting flower.

Feathery button-size blooms of true blues, whites, and pinks.

Specific: Centaurea cyanus.

Artist, Keith Carollo, heard the word "bachelor" he must have been thinking "pad." His digital rendering of 1960's-inspired bachelor-esque objects is both contrasted and united by the bright, colorful blooms of this flower.
