Salsify ~ Oysterplant ~ A Plant By Many Names
Western Goat's Beard... Wild Oysterplant... Yellow Salsify... Yellow Goat's Beard... Meadow Goat's Beard... Goat's Beard... Goatsbeard... Common Salsify... or Salsify...
Whatever you want to call them, they make great photography subjects... in my opinion anyway.
I was able to photograph some while I was on a walk with my dad and Matouk when I was back home in Ohio.
The ones I photographed had a yellow flower...

And, like many of the others, this one had gone to seed.
I thought the sun was hitting this one nicely, making it shimmer.
Not that I'd know any macro-obsessed photographer or anything. ;-)

Today, I won't be taking any photos, unless I take them inside. Today, I'm just listening to the rain continuously hit the metal roof and the steel buildings. It's a rainy day... good day for just being lazy. ;-)

Very nice photos! Beautiful flowers to :)
The first one is like the sun - the rest shows that flowers can be beautiful altså when they wither! :)
each image grows more beautiful in the series, wow!
So...where's the pearl in them oysterplants?
How beautiful is that? Great macro's Misty.
What a cool looking flower! We definitely don't have them around here.
Boy, am I ever glad I came here before I posted my collection of oysterplant photos! I had them named wrong!!!
I totally agree about how fascinating they are, although I would rank chicory and milkweed higher, if I knew any macro obsessed photographers....
lol I don't know any macro obsessed photographers either. What a beautiful subject. I don't know that I've seen them. Perhaps I need to look closer. Your shots are beautiful, Misty...
