Salsify
I came across this plant while walking to a meeting. The day was fine and I had a lot on my mind; the meeting was called because things that had been stewing for a while were going to be addressed head on. Yes, one of THOSE meetings. I was glad for momentary distraction of the goatsbeard.
Goatsbeard catches my eye because it is one of the first wildflowers (some would say ditch weed) that I learned to identify in South Dakota. While an introduced species, it is not a troublesome plant according to Grassland Plants of South Dakota and the Northern Great Plains .

Found in a weedy patch around a tree. I was walking to a meeting since the day was fine and I had a lot on my mind.
