It is a Tragopogon species which belongs to the Daisy Family (Asteraceae).

As there are a number of different species in the genus, the specific identification is uncertain. T. pratensis is the most common one, but no guarantee this specimen  belongs there. It certainly is not one of the red or pink-coloured species, though.
