Wild Flowers of Sleepy Hollow Lake
- Chicory (Cichorium intybus)-
(click on photos or links to enlarge)

(Chicory - 1) Chicory are members of the Composite family, and can grow up to five feet tall. Only a few flowers are open on a plant at one time, which gives a somewhat sparse appearance, as depicted in this photo. The flowers last only one day, and are replaced by new flowers the next day. The root of the chicory can be roasted, ground, and used as a coffee substitute.

(Chicory - 2) The actual size of the chicory flower is about one inch across. Each petal has a distinctive five fingered or toothed outer edge.

(Chicory - 3) This enlarged photo of the center of the chicory flower shows the spectacular beauty of God's creation. If we would only learn to look for this kind of beauty in the common things around us, perhaps we would appreciate what we have been given even more, and seek to protect our environment.

(Chicory - 04) This photo of chicory was taken by Dianne Stoess, who submitted it to us on 28 July 2003, with our thanks.

Presented here are just a few of the countless components of God's creation. Just as we cannot have human and animal life without water and plants, neither can we have lasting peace without love and compassion. It is our hope and prayer that this series will motivate people to live and act in a cruelty-free manner; that we would no longer hurt or destroy each other, the animals or our environment.
