You can still see the beautiful deep Blue Chicory wildflowers blooming along the roads, trails and out in the meadows all over Cape Cod. A couple of interesting facts: The stemless flowers grow right on the stalk and each flower lasts only one day. I love the delicate stamen and pistils in the center.
Blue Chicory blooms through October so you still have time to see it.
The Chicory Fairy – Cicely Mary Barker
By the white cart-road,
Dusty and dry,
Look! there is Chicory,
Blue as the sky!
Or, where the footpath
Goes through the corn,
See her bright flowers,
Each one new-born!
Though they fade quickly,
O, have no sorrow!
There will be others
New-born tomorrow!
