Autumn Chickory Flower


Chickory, Cichorium intybus


I was overjoyed to find this beautiful chickory plant still in full bloom, even though most of the flowers around here are long gone.

To see gorgeous flowers from around the world, visit Tina's Picstory's meme "Weekend Flowers" - and prepare to be amazed!

  10. My word! Those stamens look like they're encrusted with sugar--or maybe faery dust! How perfectly lovely...
