"Goat's Beard" Tragopogon dubius. Our native species of Tragopogon with its glorious yellow stellate flowers that close as the day gets brighter and warmer. On this walk they stayed open as the sky darkened. Lots of confusion over the two Tragopogon species, dubius or Goatsbeard is sometimes called oyster plant or salsify which really should be given to Tragopogon porrifolius, the stunning purple version introduced as a culinary variety for its edible roots found in large numbers locally especially around Faversham Creek. Love them, so bright and happy.....
This fancy clever goat's name is Hrafn (e. Raven) and he lives at Hólar Mini Zoo in Iceland. He performs tricks in exchange for strawberry flavored gummies. <3
Goat's-Beard
Tragopogon pratensis (common names Jack-go-to-bed-at-noon,[1] meadow salsify, showy goat's-beard or meadow goat's-beard) is a biennial plant in the Asteraceae family, distributed across Europe and North America, commonly growing in fields (hence its name) and on roadsides. It is found in North America from southern Ontario to Massachusetts; most of England; on the eastern and southern edges of Scotland; and central Ireland but not the coastal edges.
It flowers between June and October and its flowers have a diameter of 3–5 cm. The root and buds are edible, and it has a milky latex.
Description
It grows 30 to 100 cm tall.
It differs from viper's-grass (Scorzonera humilis) in that Viper's-grass has short, pale green bracts, whereas in Goat's-beard they are long and pointed.
The lower leaves are 10 to 30 cm long, lanceolate, keeled lengthwise, grey-green, pointed, hairless, with a white midrib. The upper leaves are shorter and more erect. It is the only United Kingdom dandelion type flower with grass like leaves.[2]
The flower heads are 5 cm wide. They only open in the morning sunshine, hence the name 'Jack go to bed at noon'.
The achenes are rough, long beaked pappus radiating outwards interwoven like a spider's web of fine white side hairs (referred to as a "Blowball").[3]
Usage
Young shoots and roots of meadow salsify can be used in diabetic salads.
In Armenia, rural kids make bubble gum from the juice of meadow salsify. For this purpose, when milky juice is released from the torn stems it is collected on the walls of a glass and dried.

Native Americans and early settlers made tea from the roots to fight intestinal parasites. Cherokee women washed their hair in it to transfer the toughness to their hair to keep it from falling out. The roots of the plant contain rotenone which Native American fishermen would use to stun fish, and the plants were fed to goats by early settlers to simulate milk production. Plants grow in acidic soil throughout the Ozarks. A small plant, about two feet tall, with dense hairs giving it a gray color.

On l'appelle également barbe-de-bouc du fait que son capitule, presque toujours fermé, laisse simplement dépasser quelques poils blanchâtres ou brunâtres semblables à une barbiche.
Comme celui des pissenlits, l'akène plumeux du salsifis sauvage agit tel un parachute qui entraîne au loin les graines avec la complicité du vent.

It is also called a goat's beard because its head, almost always closed, simply leaves behind a few whitish or brownish hairs like a goatee.
Like that of dandelions, the feathery achen of wild salsify acts like a parachute that draws away the seeds with the complicity of the wind.
Selon ma fille, ce sont aussi des "fleurs tissées", ou des "parapluies retournés"... A chacun d'y voir ce qu'il souhaite selon le fruit de son imagination...
I love these seed heads and when I found this wild plant in my garden, I was thrilled. I ignored my neighbour's horrified squeals "Its a weed ! Get rid of it ! "

Aruncus dioicus, known as goat's beard, buck's-beard or bride's feathers, is a flowering herbaceous perennial plant in the family Rosaceae, found in Europe, Asia, and eastern and western North America. It is the type species of the genus Aruncus. It has alternate, pinnately compound leaves, on thin, stiff stems, with plumes of feathery white or cream flowers borne in summer.
One of the peaks at Sunshine Village Ski Area, in Banff National Park.
One thing I'll say for Canadian Rockies skiing - you can get in as much trouble as you want... Sunshine has in-bounds areas where an avalanche transceiver, shovel, and probe are required.
Last week a guy ducked the ropes and climbed to the summit, hoping to ski off the back (west) side, looking for fresh powder. Permanently closed area. Cornice under him collapsed, and he fell 1800 ft., triggering a class 2 avalanche in the process.

I spent the previous night in the car (again), parked at the very elevated Walna Scar Road, above Coniston. Low temperatures & a howling gale, that repeatedly rocked my little vehicle, made sleep a stop & start affair. With no sign of the wind abating, the matter of venturing out into this maelstrom at 5.00am became a serious question of whether I had enough self-discipline. The lure of just trying to sleep on & spending the rest of the day wandering the shores of Coniston Water had to be ruthlessly dispatched.
I arrived at the summit of Coniston Old Man wrapped in many layers & a down jacket zipped up to my eyeballs, only to find one of those mad fell-runners already there, taking in the view (very unusual: they normally never stop for anything). He was lightly dressed in shorts & an alarmingly thin top. I'm beginning to wonder if there's some new medication on offer that effectively makes you impervious to the cold. If there is, could someone give me the details?

Tragopogon pratensis, conegut també com a barba de cabra o salsifí de prat, és una espècie de planta asteràcia. És biennal i herbàcia. Es troba als Països Catalans. Té una roseta basal amb les fulles allargades, del seu centre apareix una tija floral que arriba a fer 1 metre. La corol·la és ligulada, de color groc viu, només s'obre unes poques hores al matí i es tanca la resta del dia. Com altres espècies del gènere Tragopogon, rep el nom comú de barba de cabra perquè de la corol·la tancada s'escapen els filaments blanquinosos o bruns del papus plomós dels fruits que són similars a les pilositats de la barbeta del boc. Les arrels i brots tendres són comestibles.
És planta nativa de l'Europa mediterrània; s'estén fins a Europa septentrional, el Caucas i Pakistan. Ha estat introduïda a Amèrica i Nova Zelanda.

Plants (15-)40-100 cm. Leaves: apices usually recurved to coiled, faces initially tomentulose to floccose, soon glabrescent. Peduncles usually little, if at all, inflated (at flowering, may be inflated in fruit), initially floccose to tomentulose, soon glabrescent. Involucres urceolate in bud. Outer florets equaling or surpassing phyllaries; corollas yellow. 2n = 12. Flowering May-Aug. Disturbed sites; 10-2100 m; introduced; Alta., B.C., Man., N.B., Nfld. and Labr.

Tragopogon pratensis is naturalized across much of North America. The circumscription and infraspecific taxonomy of T. pratensis in Europe are debated, and the name T. pratensis may prove to be inaccurately assigned to the introduced populations in North America.

AKA Goat's Eyes
Is it just me, or can you see a goat/ram's face in this?
I've decided that this shot qualifies as part of the Black and White Unite series as it is 1 image duplicated and flipped to make the final image...I saw the goat/ram's face looking at the single image and knew I just had to do it ;-)
In this group of water worn tree roots, I happened to see what I think looks like a goat's head pattern. What do you think?
A weed by any other name is still a weed. I wanted to show the before and after of this huge weed...the seed ball is about the size of a large grapefruit, the flower, the size of a daisy.
