left to roadsides and fields.
Benefits: In the past its bright
yellow was used as a fabric dye.

Salsify, Showy Goat's-beard, Meadow Goat's-beard or Jack-go-to-bed-at-noon Tragopogon pratensis L.
This is an all-summer flowering biennial plant that is spread widely in the cooler
parts of the world, making it no further south in the US than Massachusetts.
Its dandelion like flowers open only in the morning so obviously I missed an
opportunity
finding these in the afternoon. Nonetheless, I found them intriguing.
Benefits: Apparently this plant is relatively edible, being
used in some connection to diabetes and for an enjoyable alternative to commercial
chewing
gum.
From: Just about everywhere.

in Italy in 2012.
