The salsify flower is a beautiful plant that grows in gardens or fields. It is sometimes called the "goat's beard" because its fluffy seed heads look like a goat's beard! The flower is part of the salsify plant, which is also grown for its root, a vegetable that people can eat.

The salsify flower is usually purple or pink, and it looks like a big, pretty star when it opens up. It blooms in the morning and closes in the afternoon, which makes it very special. The flower grows on a tall, thin stem, and it loves sunny places.

After the flower finishes blooming, it turns into a fluffy, white ball of seeds. These seeds are light and can float in the wind, helping the plant spread and grow in new places. This is how the salsify plant makes more flowers!

Salsify flowers are not just pretty—they also attract bees, butterflies, and other insects that help pollinate plants. This means they are very important for nature. Here we are going to learn how to draw a salsify flower, try it if you like!
