Tragopogon buphthalmoides is a common tuberous perennial herb in Mt Hermon. During May one can find taller plants blooming in relatively lower altitudes: 1000-1700m. In June-July shorter stemmed plants are blooming in the higher areas, like this one.
As u can see the seeds (achenes) of this species are wind dispersed. I posted its flowers in this link - http://www.treknature.com/viewphotos.php?l=3&p=174132
