#Salsifies
Salsifies have no boundaries this year, and have invaded my garden for the first time.

Me gustan los salsifíes 😊 Los asocio con mi primera primavera en Madrid (en Galicia es una flor rara); el de la foto de arriba es el primero que vi, junto a la facultad, sin saber aún qué era, o si era una flor exótica o nativa.

Me encantan los salsifíes. Creo que los franceses los usan en la cocina.

En un cacho de tierra junto al que espero al bus por las mañanas crecen un par de matas de salsifíes (Tragopogon porrifolius). Por desgracia siempre me las encuentro desnudas, pues sus flores se abren solo durante el/un día 😩 Para desquitarme subo esta de hace la tira de años...

(4/7) Las flores de los salsifíes se abren por la mañana, generalmente poco después del amanecer, permanecen abiertas solo unas horas y se cierran hacia el mediodía o primeras horas de la tarde.

I would say non-count noun not normally plural, like "rice", but if you needed one e.g. to talk about different varieties you would use "salsifies"

My salsifies didn't get that big this year, but, as usual, I went overboard when planting, so there are many. Guess I'm having a lot of salsify dinners in the coming month or so.

Last harvest of 2023... Even after a cold spell with up to -10°C, my little garden is still producing yummy veggies (1,000 slugs agree). Kale, savoy cabbage, Chinese cabbage, pak choi, Italian endives (radicchio, grumolo and catalogna), leeks, kohlrabi, red and yellow beets, parsnips, and salsifies.

Glad to hear the maples are growing well! I didn't know you call them maple keys there! 🍁
I have not! Are you referring to salsifies or unusually large dandelions? I've only seen fused dandelion flowers, haha

Yeah, haha, as a German, it sure was confusing sometimes to learn "English" 📖

Best guess would be Tragopogon sp., the salsifies, also known as goatsbeard! They have a neat polymorphism where seeds near the interior of the flowering head are smaller and better-suited for long-distance wind dispersal, while outer seeds and those that face downward are larger / less mobile

DYK? Salsifies are called ‘vegetable oysters’ because their roots taste subtly like seafood! 🌊🥬

El salsifí (Tragopogon porrifolius), conocido comúnmente en español como salsifí o barba cabruna, es una raíz comestible de sabor delicado, similar al espárrago blanco o a la alcachofa. Es una verdura de invierno, blanca por dentro y con piel oscura, a menudo denominada "espárrago de invierno".

... amazingly, there's a french children's song about this. though it doesn't feature radishes, but one of the many versions of the lyrics has "salsifies silently waltzing". in the moonlight.
