It's named after the Greek centaur Chiron who was said to have used it to heal from a wound caused by Achilles' arrows.
Depictions of cornflowers go all the way back to the stone and bronze age, and a garland of cornflowers were found on the Egyptian King Tutankh-Amun.
English maidens were said to wear the cornflower as a sign that they were eligible for marriage, and concealed the flower if they had already chosen a bachelor.
