Below are two photos from about 9:00 in the morning. One can see that the flower is having difficulty opening due to a spider's web.
When Églantine and I came back at 10:30 a.m., the plant had forced the spider web to almost give up. We probably should have gone back at noon to see what had happened by then as normally the Goatsbeards close up again by then.

Great viewing adventure - thanks for sharing the Goatsbeard!
superb wildlife shots from both of you, as Endment says - thankyou for sharing!
I blogged a picture of my goatsbeard today also (but during the seeding phase). I was unaware there were two varieties.
Hm, now I have to go to my photo archive and see what kinds of Goatsbeard are blooming in the front field - I was not aware there was more than one kind, but I do enjoy their pinwheel shapes.
E, Glad you enjoyed our adventure.
C, Thanks!
P, I did a quick scan of your blog. I could not tell what kind of goatsbeard you had but a count of the bracts might be a good clue if you are interested. (Most people don't show that much interest.)
K, What did you find out about your goatsbeards?
