Jack-go-to-bed-at-noon

Salsify, Bull Canyon

Seed parachutes, ready to fly, and empty seed head.

This is a common roadside weed all across the Chilcotin. The yellow flowers open in the early morning, and close in the afternoon.

(These plants hybridize readily. This could be Western Salsify, Tragopogon dubius, but I am dubious about this because the flowers don't quite match the Wikipedia sample.)
