Project Yellow III

.
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.

Beautiful!
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.

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
