Tragopogon porrifolius

it sure is. a native wild flower, seed dispersed by wind. I actually like it so I wouldn't call it a weed. if you don't want it then it is a weed and remove before it seeds further. one of its common names is 'jack go to bed at noon' as the flowers are only open in the morning.

Wow thanks all for the info! Did think the flower had opened but then doubted myself when it wasn't
