Marvelous picture Wallaby of the lovely Chickory!
Its blue is so intense and vibrant, that one doesn't even notice the 'shagginess' of the plant when its in bloom.

The next one I want to put in the spot-lights is the very 'common' dandelion; Taraxacum officinale. I must confess I'm not too fond of its bold and plump flowers in that screaming yellow colour, although I can appreciate them in a meadow. But I am really enchanted by their lovely fluffy seed heads. I must put out of my mind that this means a real invasion of new dandelions to be born!
