You are right; however, I fear that this is destined to be bulldozed soon as it
is in an area under development. Took my daughter out to see them and already
they had mowed along the road and the chicory was history. I will try to find
the property owner and see what is planned to go in there. I notice they have
some young trees planted and marked close by, and I'm guessing condos or
something. City wants to develop property right across the road for a new golf
couse.

I'm curious about the seed angle, because I can't imagine anything other than
seed how these popped up there, but I sure wouldn't want to gamble propagating
them from seed although I found one article on the net where someone with
infinite patience got 3 seeds from one after trying and trying many others
which had no seeds.

I have seen to many plants destroyed when people try to lift from the wild.
