This salad of leaves has invaded our very neglected garden lawn.I was surprised the first year, just some leaves, actually lots of leaves.

Of course, after a while they reveal what they are, i.e. the common chicory known as blue daisy, blue dandelion, and not surprisingly: blue weed – because it is invasive. The German common name tells us their main occopuation: waiting by the roadside (Wegwarte).

They always look lovely, close-up or as blue dots from afar. They are also well beloved by insects of all kind.

_{Click on the individual photos (particularly the one with the lightest flower) to see the curlicues of the stamen.}
