Description
Yellow Salsify Wildflower by Debra Martz There were many purple and blue wildflowers in the area by the Big Marsh Boardwalk but this yellow lanky one stood out to me in a minimalist way. I was not certain what it was but found in the pictures listed at this website and narrowed down for Oklahoma.

The above link also provided me with its many other names and info: "Yellow Salsify, Yellow Goatsbeard, Western Salsify, Wild Oysterplant. Found in 45 states - all but Hawaii, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and South Carolina - Yellow Salsify is considered an invasive weed in many areas, although apparently with little negative economic impact. The taproot is edible, and is reported to be the reason it was imported into the United States. The reported flavor is reminiscent of oysters, giving it the Wild Oysterplant common name."
