Purple Bloom in Napa Valley

I'm not familiar with these flowers. I sort of just snapped it while driving around in the Wine Country in Napa Valley, California. Looking around for images in Google search, I believe it's Chicory (Cichorium intybus), but I could very well be wrong. Your guess is as good as mine.

That's what sucks about snapping on random plants you come across when you're not a botanist. Still, it's fun looking for a matching plant later when you actually have to name and describe the photo.

Do you know what this plant is?

All the chicory I know of features a blue flower. This what i found online for chicory ...Chichory-1024x768.jpg

Could they be related to echinacea?

Maybe? I have not clue :)

Good photo. I like your idea of seeking out things to photograph and post on STEEMIT, for all to see and enjoy.

I love purple.. That's a beautiful flower

Great shot! I also would say these are Cosmea.

I took this pic in my parents garden and these flowers look really similar :)

They're really pretty :)

You only took one pic?

Yep

Wow nice photography...thanks for sharing

Beautiful shot! The flower looks just like purple cosmos.

They look like Cosmos to me. Great picture!

Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature.

wow really nice photography

Beautiful flowers @adonosabril 😄. I can't help naming with the flowers though. Can't resist not clicking on the post as these are too pretty to just let pass by, kind of like giving me a fairytale vibe with how you snapped the photo. Looks like something I see on kids movies or story books. Somehow reminds me of animated movie Arriety as well with how these flowers could seem to be so tall. 😄

I have seen these flowers , in kashmiri we call them "posh".

Maybe they're related to poppys
