| | | chicory
Hi all,
Found this plant a week ago growing next to a fresh water pond about 1 mile from the sea.
The plant had a stiff stem upright and grooved. It stood about 4 feet, the striking blue flowers grow out from the stem at the point where the leaf was attached.
The whole plant was noticeably stiff and easily supported itself in quite a stong breeze.
I think it may be chicory. There was also buds attached that resembled hops.
can anyone either confirm or correct my id
regards mark...  |

Yes Mark, this is chicory.
It could possibly be naturaised at the location you found it, but it has been introduced at quite a few places in Lancashire.
Regards
Mike. |
