| I received this plant from our Mid-Atlantic plant swap, and would love to find out the name. It has pretty bright yellow flowers, and it blooms in the afternoon/evening. flowers fade by morning. None to very very light fragrance. I currently have it in my sun garden, but I have a feeling I have it in the wrong spot.
If you can id, I would appreciate it. thanks Jette |

| Could be evening primrose but hard to tell how big the flowers are from your picture. Does each flower go from totally closed to open within about 30 seconds around dusk? Then yes it is evening primrose. Ours always did fine in full sun. |

| yes, thank you for the id.....yellow evening primrose it is! I'm glad it ended up in the right spot in my sun garden. I'm enjoying it as it gives my garden color in the evening!I was reading that it's a biennial and will readily seed itself.... hopefully it will behave, and doesn't grow/spread crazily like the mexican evening primrose I have. |

| Seedlings are easy to remove. Goldfinches love the seed. It's not rhizomatous like the pink flowered Oenothera. |
|
| No ours never spread. When I was little it was like the neighborhood entertainment for everyone to watch them pop Open in the summ evenings. |
