Western Salsify also known as Goat’s Beard and tragopogon dubious is a widespread, non-native wildflower introduced from Europe and Western Asia. Its yellow flowers dot the landscape in spring and early summer. The star-shaped flowers open in the morning and close by late afternoon. All that remains are huge dandelion-like seed heads. They glisten in the sunlight and await the prairie winds to set their seeds adrift on small umbrellas of down.
