It's gorgeous, Jim! Note that species identification is very important on this site. Do you know the species of flower? If not, can you at least share the location in the title or description? Posted 11 years ago

  Sorry for the inconvenience. I had forgotten to include location and species. I was trying to use several species finders, but none of them worked out. Posted 11 years ago

    No worries, all that is asked is a reasonable effort to identify it. If you don't know it, that's OK. That's why including the location may help others identify it. Posted 11 years ago

  Thanks for the identification on the plant, I really didn't know what it was and needed some help in finding it. Posted 11 years ago

The Common Chicory

Common chicory, Cichorium intybus, is a somewhat woody, perennial herbaceous plant usually with bright blue flowers, rarely white or pink. Various varieties are cultivated for salad leaves, chicons (blanched buds), or for roots (var. sativum), which are baked, ground, and used as a coffee substitute and additive.
