The Blue Chicory Wildflowers Are Still Blooming On Cape Cod.

You can still see the beautiful deep blue Chicory wildflowers blooming along the roads,  trails and out in the meadows. I took this photograph at Fort Hill.

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.

Chicory blooms through October so you still have time to see it.
