The friend who gave me the poppy seeds from which the flowers that I posted yesterday grew also gave me some evening primrose plants a few years ago. Like the poppies, some evening primrose appear every year. These are the first of this years flowers. Unfortunately each flower only lasts a matter of hours. I noticed these at 7.00 a.m this morning as I was doing my early morning garden inspection while drinking my tea. I went to get my camera because I knew they wouldn't last long. I think they're so pretty and I just love the colour.
Gorgeous, aren't they? They decided to grow in my garden last year and this year I seem to be in for a wonderful display as they have spread thenselves. Very welcome.
These are a marvelous flower. A friend of ours has four plants growing in his front yard. He invited us over to watch them open which only takes a minute or two. I videoed one as it opened. I'm going to try again only from a different angle.
