Jack-Go-To-Bed-At-Noon

Jack-Go-To-Bed-At-Noon
Tragopogon lamottei

This plant goes by many names, most of which are easier to say than Jack-Go-To-Bed-At-Noon.  The names I use for this blog come from the name used by the USDA Plants Database - https://plants.usda.gov/home/plantProfile?symbol=TRPR.

Other names are Salsify and Goats-beard, both of which are better than Jack-Go-To-Bed-At-Noon.  Of course I don't think anyone reads this blog, so I could call it anything I want.

This is why it's called Goats-beard.
