Those blue flowers often seen alongside Queen Anne's Lace are indeed Chicory.<br /><br />They are my most favorite wildflower! I'd recognize those soft blue beauties anywhere!<br /><br />The blooms open in the early afternoon and tend to close back up slightly in the evening. (You'll notice this more if you use them as a cut flower in the house).<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your painting of these wonderful flowers with us!<br /><br />-DeanDean Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01014573083751127043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083940342074718657.post-87950223314191331992009-10-02T20:15:14.591-04:002009-10-02T20:15:14.591-04:00Ohh, blue flowers are my favorite.

I don't know what they are, but they came out well with a very fresh and light feel to them.Kerri Settlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12737698798684669909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083940342074718657.post-66036354127842333702009-10-02T18:22:02.514-04:002009-10-02T18:22:02.514-04:00I like your painting.I like your painting.Tato Skinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02918506576699538046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083940342074718657.post-9272615149036711132009-10-02T16:45:21.226-04:002009-10-02T16:45:21.226-04:00might be chicorymight be chicoryCHRIS MURRAYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00902291140734132670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083940342074718657.post-9750369945565569952009-10-02T16:16:30.362-04:002009-10-02T16:16:30.362-04:00What a lovely painting!

They look a bit like the ones I had in my garden for a few years. <br /><br />Your son's comment reminds me of when I worked in a greenhouse. We came up with a saying there that there were only two kinds of plants: those that didn't grow well enough, and those that grew too well.r garriotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00601540194915313393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083940342074718657.post-63099673017376211412009-10-02T08:06:05.600-04:002009-10-02T08:06:05.600-04:00Charming.

Wait- ARE they cornflowers? Funny- i woke up and visualized the same sort of painting this morning- and there it was!<br />I love your life metaphor too- sometimes the weeds in our life are overlooked treasures...Good job kelley!Sally Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17003021014907174912noreply@blogger.com
