No chicory here, but we have a close relative, the skeleton plant. The cage-like stamens are glorious, and when they’re covered in pollen, the can look like a glitter ball at a disco!
I know, I recently saw a bio movie about a gardner who only worked in wild plants and flowers. It was eye opening and made me want wild plants in a garden.
I have always liked chicory and even with our first hard freeze back in late September (yes, not a typo), the chickory were still going strong and still are.

So vibrant, a powerful presence.
It’s very common here, Paul, but always as precious as jewels! 🙂
I love Chicory flowers. The blue is so unique and pure. Great photo!
They are common but way too underappreciated by many! 🙂

Thanks, Laura. They are common wild plants but way undervalued. 🙂

It’s as tough as it is beautiful! We could all learn a lesson from it! 🙂
