We have two types of Salsify here. These plants are biennial and propagate by seed dispersion. Apparently the roots, young stems and base of lower leaves are edible (see this link). We haven't ventured to try them yet. Salsify is an introduced species.

Notice that there are 13 floral bracts that extend beyond the flower (Meadow Salsify has only 8 that are pretty much aligned with the flower). The flower is a little paler in yellow than the Meadow Salsify. The foliage is also more blue/gray in color.
