Chicory Blossom in Morning Light


I took this picture a couple of weeks ago when the sun was low and turned the grass in our meadows a soft gold. Very nice as a background to this lovely wildflower. I am crazy about Chicory blossoms and keep meaning to feature them for my Pick of the Day, but something always seems to push it out of the way! Too many pictures, not enough top spots! :D
From Wikipedia:
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. It is also grown as a forage crop for livestock. It lives as a wild plant on roadsides in its native Europe, and in North America and Australia, where it has become naturalized.
