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.
The Goat's Beard is a genus of flowering plants in the sunflower family. This plant was seen on a nature reserve in the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire on 15th June 2023.
This grows in deep dry shade. It is growing under my oak tree that is over 100 years old.
Taken with a Lensbaby - I used a lensbaby but I'm not positive which one. I think I used the Lensbaby Twist 60.
My brother is getting married tomorrow and I am doing his pics for him so I may be offline for a couple of days or more depending on how involved the editing gets to be. I'll catch up soon. I have taken 3 wedding photography online courses this week. Wish me luck. I need it.
Salsify is a very interesting flower. The roots are edible and they close their blooms around noon. These wild flowers were growing in my grandparent's front garden (yard).
(My grandparents passed away in 1999 - still have their home until it gets sold this year.)
A friend of my daughter-in-law keeps goats and when she found out I made soap she froze some goat milk as a gift! I put color in the top two and left the bottom batch natural.
what shall we do with the summer clock?
A large fluffy seedhead of the Goat’s Beard (Tragopogon pratensis), often called ‘clock’ like many dandelion seedheads. It doesn’t tick or tock. Bath Skyline walk, Claverton, BANES, England, UK.
Thank you for your visit, favours and comments, much appreciated.
This goldfinch is gorging on the seeds of yellow goat's beard, which is also called common salsify or wild oysterplant. The flowers looked like giant dandelions when they bloomed a while back and their seed heads look like humongous dandelion seed heads too. The fresh young roots were relished by people in years past.
First stood here a goat's windmill which was presumably established in the early 17th century and was mentioned in 1768 for the first time in a document. In 1840 this mill burnt itself down.
The new building of a Dutchman's mill occurred in 1848 through Brünn Ehlers. From 1920 the mill was pursued by the company Behrens & Schröder. Since 1953 the mill stands under conservation of monuments and historic buildings. In 1964 it was given to the city of Bremen. In 1972 the Focke-museum furnished here a mill department.
The Oberneulander mill is station 43 historic mill street from Lower Saxony and landmarks of the district Oberneuland.

Svolvær is the centre of municipal administration in the borough of Vågan, which includes the islands of Gimsøy and Austvågøy.
The city is nicely exposed to the sunshine, and the sun itself is only absent for one month a year, from December 6 to January 6.
Svolvær is situated by the sea and is surrounded by beautiful scenic areas and well-known mountain formations like Svolværgeita (the Svolvær Goat), Fløya, Tuva, Blåtind, Kongstinden and Tjeldbergtinden.
Svolvær is the centre of municipal administration in the borough of Vågan, which includes the islands of Gimsøy and Austvågøy.
The city is characterised by seafront promenades, fishermen’s cabins (rorbu), fish landing stations and distinctive mountains. A lot of people are familiar with Svolværgeita crag, which was first climbed in 1910. The pride and sense of victory felt by many after jumping from one of the “goat’s” horns to the other, will often be the memory of a lifetime.
Svolvær is one of the gateways to the Lofoten Islands with its airport and daily calls by the Coastal Voyage vessels and the express passenger boats to Bodø and Narvik. The ferry between Svolvær and Hamarøy (the realm of Knut Hamsun) also offers daily crossings.
The borough of Vågan is one of North Norway’s major centres of art, boasting the largest number of resident artists in the north. The North Norwegian Artists’ Centre is well established in Svolvær, and in Kabelvåg we find the Nordland County Council College of Art.
The engineering industry in Svolvær is among the biggest in North Norway, and Vågan is also one of the country’s major sea farming boroughs.

Le salsifis est une plante bisannuelle, parfois vivace, introduite d'Eurasie aux premiers temps de la colonisation européenne. Les feuilles entières et les étamines brunes permettent de la distinguer facilement des laiterons et de la Laitue scariole (ou Laitue sauvage). Une incision de la tige ou de la feuille laisse couler un latex blanc. Les fleurs se referment vers midi.
The salsify is a biennial plant, sometimes perennial, introduced from Eurasia in the early days of European colonization. The full leaves and the brown stamens distinguish it easily from the milkweed plants and Prickly Lettuce (Lactuca serriola). An incision of the rod or of a leave will let flow a white latex. The flowers close around noon.

Sweat Bee, common name for any of a large family of bees, many of which are attracted to the salts in human perspiration.
This shrubby perennial gets its name from its fluffy, droopy blossoms. This sprig has not yet opened.
... or Goat's-beard (Tragopogon pratensis), at Dawlish Warren, Devon, England.
The alternative (title) name refers to the fact that flowers only open in the morning sun.
See my other Dawlish Warren flora photos.
When this wildflower goes to seed it resembles a monstrous version of the all too common dandelion. Hard to resist a bit of macro work. As with all shots full view gives the best fine detail.
Lots of ways to shoot the seed head including a side shot when backlit, but for this shot I decided that looking down on the top was most interesting.
