Today’s flower is called a weed! Desert Chicory or False Dandelion. Its likes wet weather so that’s why it’s blooming so pretty. Chicory is a substitute for coffee. Chicory has a long tap root that reminds me of an overgrown icicle radish. The roots are dug, cleaned, and ground for coffee. The one used for coffee has blue to purple bloom! I’ve never drank chicory but it’s popular in Cajun country!
