an edible tuber, Tragopogon porrifolius, is showing its pretty magenta flower all over Petaluma right now, but I had to re-ID it on Facebook's Plant Identification forum because I can never remember its Latin name nor its common name "salsify". I keep telling myself to remember it by saying "I can use this to salsify my tacos" but that never works... it just doesn't look appealing as food.
