Evening primrose are supposed to flower at dusk with the blooms dying the next day. That might explain why I only found two sad yellow flowers like this one, both definitely not at their peak. I will have to go and look tonight and see if I can watch them bloom before my eyes. I have seen this once in a friend's garden and it was like watching a miracle. They open up rather quickly and spectacularly and are a true joy to watch. What luck to find some in the meadow out back only steps from our deck.
