At the Idaho Native Plant Society sale, someone told me that most people don’t care for the evening primrose. So, always rooting for the underdog, I bought four of them. The leaves do lay on the ground in a weird way, and the blooms – which come out at night – last just one day, but I still think they are pretty. Also to their credit, they don’t like much water. The flowers on my plants are either white or a very pale pink.
Nice picture of an evening primrose, Leslie. I’m going to forward this to a friend of mine who grows them here in Richmond.

Leslie, when we were in Utah last month, pale evening primrose was in bloom everywhere in the desert. It was gorgeous and became one of my favorite desert flowers!
