Eye of the Beholder
The identification of this flower eluded me. Any takers out there? It's about two feet tall and grows in dappled light in the meadow. Later post: Thanks to Kathe from Michigan, who identified the plant. Turns out it has a different common name in California, Purple Salsify, and is not native. Botanists say the plant is found in disturbed environments, and they call it an agricultural weed — a definition that is always debatable.
Tragopogon porrifolius
