василёк - vasilyok

I don't know why it's called like that or which Basilius or Vassili it was who gave it this pretty name
...I just know, when ever I see cornflowers I realize that I like them very much : mainly because of their unmistakable color and also maybe because they remind me so much to my childhood and summer ...summer in the Ural : dry and very warming :-)
here in this part of Europe summer is different : not that warm, not that steady
...but I do not want to say something or complain...this year the smell of summer is in the air !
