I saw a bunch of these on my photo walk yesterday, but I didn’t take pictures of them. I had a few already in the files. This is called a “Yellow Salsify” (scientific name Tragopogon dubius major). Tragopogon means “goat’s beard” which refers to the seed heads. A member of the Aster family. Very pretty, and one of the first spring flowers that I see around Colorado each year.
