Cichorium sp.

I don’t remember where I have clicked this but certainly a member with Ligulate heads.

Probably a Cichorium sp.

Beautiful head. May be C. endivia.

I thought C. intybus
C. intybus: bracts subtending heads commonly shorter than heads; fls. blue, white or pink
C. endivia: bracts subtending heads leafy, commonly longer than heads; fls purple.

I agreed with … Please check the link http://wimastergardener.org/?q=chicory. I also captured the same C. intybus a few days ago and I will post it soon.
