Dear Rod,

This species you submitted is Oyster Plant, or Tragopogon porrifolius. You can find out more information about this weed at: http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=TRPO

We hope you will keep on reporting! By looking for and reporting some of the less abundant, but equally as aggressive, invasive species, we can control them before they become tomorrow’s Scotch broom or English Ivy. Check out this website for a list of plants and animals that are priority for early detection and control in Western Oregon: http://www.westerninvasivesnetwork.org/pages/plants.php
