Description
I thought I had found a mutant dandelion…a perfect puffball only it was at least 4” across! They say everything is bigger in Texas, right?! Reining in my enthusiasm I searched a bit to discover that this is likely something called Western Salsify. The root is supposed to be edible especially so you can fry, roast or boil it, being compared to turnips. OK, maybe not. Others say they slide down like oysters (hence once of its nicknames, oysterplant). OK, still not attracting me in the culinary department. How about ‘cream the roots in a soup or simmer young stalks in butter for a side dish rich in Vitamin B6’? I’m still not convinced it’s not a Texas mutant so I’ll pass on eating it.

Oh I love it ... We have some in the gardens in our community here in the panhandle of WV, too ... at least I think they're the same as ours? I'd heard them called goats beard?? Maybe not? Either way ... cool find and capture!!!! f

A most beautiful celebration of what most call a weed, the way they disparage dandelions. "Weeds" have much to offer, as your amusing description brings out (maybe a turnip substitute isn't bad, fried). l/f/tweet/pin
