Hey, Sequoia. Without doing a lot of research, I don't think the Wikipedia link meant to say that they are the same thing or necessarily related ... I think it's just an overlap in the common name. Happens more often than you would think.

You're very welcome, glad I could help ... add the Wikipedia link to your spotting and I'll have a look-see.

You're absolutely correct! Thank you so much! Wikipedia notes that it is sometimes "used for chicory". Do you know if this means in place of chicory? Or is the cornflower a cousin to chicory?

Some kind of cornflower, I think, genus Centaurea ...
