"And God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good.
And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day" (Genesis 1:31)
Wild Flowers of Sleepy Hollow Lake
- Chicory, White (Cichorium intybus)-
(click on the photos to enlarge)
The white chicory is a
rare form of the common blue variety, which is part of this photo journal. There is
also a rare pink variety. In the spring the dandelion-like leaf cluster at the base
of the stems of all varieties of chicory can be harvested for salads or cooked as other
greens. Because it's rare, we would suggest that this variety not be harvested.
The total absence of
color in the white chicory leads us to believe that it's an albino form of the common blue
variety, but we could find no such reference in the literature.
Even the pollen grains
are white on the white chicory. We deepened the contrast in this photo so that the
stamens could be more easily seen. We encourage our viewers to compare this variety
with the common blue variety. This is just another of God's wonders to behold.
