Salsify (Tragopogon sp.)
Lyndon B. Johnson National Grasslands
We went up to LBJ Nat'l Grasslands today looking for wildflowers and birds.
The above Salsify is about the most yellow thing that we saw today. Enjoy.
See Anna's for a list of participants.

Very nice -- I'm a complete sucker for pictures of flowers! Invariably every time I take a trip to Europe, not only do I come back with your typical pictures of European sights, but with a slew of images of flowers.
Good to hear that your back surgery has been successful! It's good to hear stories like that! It can't come soon enough for me -- this pain is nearly unbearable. Project Yellow has been keeping it off my mind a little at least!
It might be about all you saw, but it is very pretty and bright!
I like the tattered looking edges of the petals. It must smell as wonderful as it looks.
WOW! Now that's a real yellow flower! I just love it!!

Popped in from Dot's blog and had to say this yellow beauty is gorgeous... clear and bright... stunning.
Now that is a yellow flower! Beautiful shot.
Wow! The first three things I see on your blog:

Yellowstone yellow bus...a post I did quite sometime ago included the yellow bus
Not to mention, I LOVE TEXAS! Was born in Paris.
My hubby is half German half Texan...
Will be back, for sure.
Thanks for visiting today.

I'm learning so much from all of you photo/bloggers, this has been such a treat.

That yellow is so vibrant! Great shot!

I've heard that salsify can be fried (probably the roots) and tastes much like fried oysters.

Methinks the Salsify definitely qualifies as yellow. Great shot.
Reading on Dot's blog you liked country scenes...hope you find lots of interest over on mine...Texas eh? Are you following your own Texas Tornedo Colin Edwards in the MotoGP? I have met the guy........lovely, so friendly!
That's such a happy yellow; makes you feel better just looking at it!
soooo beautiful :)
Agreed with others! What a wonderful shade of yellow. That particular hue is much harder to find :) Nice eye!
Troy: Really cool flower, certainly not one I knew.
This one is a beauty!
Gorgeous yellow flower!
Troy and Martha, real purty that flower! Love Project Yellow!
Yellow is the dominant flower color here in Arizona this time of year!. We just finished with yellow brittlebush everywhere, and now we are going into yellow Palo Verde trees!
Beauty of a shot of the salsify.
Aren't we blessed to have had a flower 'nut' like Lady Bird Johnson
