It seems that chicory grows everywhere in the East of Bulgaria. In the morning coolness its translucent ephemeral blue flowers light up as bright stars on the background of vivid vegetation. When the sun starts to heat them up, they dim and by noon they are gone at all. But with the new day they blossom again, saturating the herbs with their vivid color.
