Wow - what an incredible image. I never knew chicory had such beautiful flowers!

I had no idea about chicory flowers either! Really gorgeous photo.

That's gorgeous. I still don't want to drink it, but if I had a garden and extra space I might plant some.

That is a beatutiful shot. Very nice macro.

I've got some chicory syrup in the fridge for adding to my coffee. I don't really like the taste on it's own (you add it to hot water).
