Description
The genus name Tragopogon comes from the Greek words tragos, meaning 'goat', and pogon meaning 'beard'. This is in reference to the seed-head of the plant Goat's Beard.
Seed-clock fully open, three inches across and substantially more robust than a Dandelion seed clock. It consists of many robust single achenes, each with its own 'parachute' or pappus able to carry it great distances in the slightest breeze.
