It was not a very favorable weather to take many macro photos. The rain, the cold and the fog drove away all the creatures. Also, you rarely find a flower, and when you find it is not in very good condition. The rain destroyed the perfection of this chicory flower but I find it interesting for today’s challenge. It is said that chicory is the strongest of the grasses because it blooms until the snow appears. The ancient Egyptians said of it as a true elixir for liver disease, bladder, kidney, as well as a powerful remedy against poisons.

Through this beautiful picture, now I imagine how the situation there with all the rain, the cold and the fog… But even more amazing is you can talk to the ancient Egyptians!
Many things that ancient Egyptians invented are still used by people in their daily lives.
I know that and totally agree, Ileana. But no one can talk to them directly like you.?
I’m unique! Didn’t you know that?
I know, and I’m glad you admit it.?
I have no choice! I must finally admit it! (I’m kidding) ?
That’s why it was replaced with chicory coffee.
Chicory in the coffee is a huge thing in New Orleans (US). Love the mix of coffee and Chicory!
We were forced to replace coffee with chicory because coffee was very difficult to find in the 1980s in my country. ?
Maybe that’s why we are no longer using chicory, although it is very healthy.
i would bet and I wouldn’t blame you at all!!!
i didn’t know that, thank you for teaching me something today!!!!
wonderful capture, thanks for sharing
Thank you for your support!
Beautiful capture and gorgeous colors! I love it how the background turned out!
Thank you, Ellie! This happens any time when we take a close-up shot and the aperture is high.
Did not know this. Beautiful shade of Blue.
The roots are used to obtain a coffee substitute.
It is consumed either as such or mixed with coffee to enrich its flavor.
Lovely blossom there. I have drunk chicory instead of coffee.
In the 80’s, coffee was hard to find in my country.
That’s why it was replaced with chicory coffee.
This is new information for me. I didn’t know that.
Chicory coffee is obtained using the roots of the plant.
They are fried, ground and boiled.
Thank you for the explanation. I know something new again ?
