Yellow goatsbeard (Tragopogon dubius) gone to seed. A study in perfect symmetry. © BCP 2010
On the run today. Such a perfect glorious fall day — please see Today’s Quote! — that I can’t bring myself to sit at the computer and do what’s necessary to create a longish post. But I did want to put up this picture of a yellow goatsbeard (Tragopogon dubius) I found a week or so ago at the Quarry.
Yellow goatsbeard, aka western salsify, is considered to be an invasive weed in Ontario and British Columbia, as well as most U.S. states.
It may be a bad old weed, but looking at its perfection of design, who could argue that it isn’t beautiful in its own right?
