Yellow Goat's-Beard

Tragopogon pratensis

The large (2 inch diameter) yellow flowers appear singly atop long stems rising above a rosette of grass-like leaves. The outer petals end squarely and have tiny notches.  Blossoms wither by afternoon. Very similar to Oyster-plant (T. porrifolius), with which it sometimes hybridizes.

1-3 feet, sun.

Summer-Autumn (June-October).
