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 :)
