Goat's Beard

Goat's Beard (aka Yellow Salsify) is a perennial, non-native wildflower found in Colorado (and in Michigan). Supposedly, it's taproot can be ground up as a coffee substitute. I think I'd have to wait 'til coffee was available again : )

 

It's large yellow flower opens in the morning, turns to face the sun, and closes by midday.
