In the last week of May and the first week of June, I watched a small stand of Yellow Goatsbeard go through its amazing morning dance. In the morning, the pods open to expose the yellow bloom, the bloom then closes by late morning. The pod then opens again in a few days as a seed pod in the form of a large ball of seeds, similar to Dandelions, but much larger. These images show the various stages of this interesting, tall wildflower.
This is the Yellow Goatsbeard (Tragopogon dubius). This image shows an open bloom and several closed seed pods.
