Hi Nino,

I don't usually send folks to another forum, but you might want to ask at the UBC Botanical Gardens forum where several botanists hang out. Here's their main forums page and the forum where you should post your picture and ask.

I'd love to know what they tell you.

i've looked through google images and wiki and i think its enough for me to call this flower Salsify :)) at least it look much like it :))

thanks a lot once more

Yep.. just like I thought...

The Goatsbeards or Salsifies are the genus Tragopogon of flowering plants
