| “Real flowers bloom in the wilderness.” - from the movie: “House of Flying Daggers.” |
| Chicory is a ubiquitous roadside
plant from early summer through the fall in the northeast and it's
one of my favorites. The plant is a waist-high disorganized cluster
of thin green stems with no substantial leaves. The delicate periwinkle
blue flowers only last for a day, and stand out nicely among the stems. I tried to grow some in my garden but it didn't take, perhaps Chicory is a free-spirit of the plant world that doesn't want to be domesticated. It has been cultivated in Europe though, as the roots can be ground up for a coffee substitute or additive. |
