"Bright and cheerful, the bright blue of the knapweed or cornflower is pretty among the rolling green hills of Germany. The state flower of Germany is the cornflower, locally called the knapweed, and with the distinction come a few interesting local traditions. In Germany, it is traditional to wear the cornflower in your lapel if you're unmarried. The bright flowers are also iconic of the bright green hills and beauty of this European land."

"Germany's national flower, centaurea is related with the emperor of old Germany. It has been called the "Emperor's flower". Because of the authoritative language of the flower's name, it naturally has been considered the national flower. Its status was not changed after the republic of Germany was established."
