Cornflowers

I cannot upload this picture how I would like to as it does not conform to RB aspect ratios. Why don't they provide for those wishing to upload 1:1 ??? Summer seems a long way off at the moment, but hopefully plenty of these will be out and about when it does arrive. Yes there is some sort of insect in there, if you look real close.
