Some sort of wild flower. Thought it was a weed but then saw some buds developing so I let it grow. It will only bloom in the early morning so it has taken a few days to catch it open.

Nice shot! That is a Yellow Goat's-Beard. Latin is Tragopogon pratensis. It's an alien species, but pretty cool, especially as you describe--the flowers are only open for a few hours in the am.

Nice photo Robert! I missed it somehow when you posted it. We actually called them giant dandelions when I was a kid!
