Author Message   Goswimmin  My Favorite Photo My Weather Posted on Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 02:52 pm EST :    My neighbor has a plant that she says blooms at night. When I went to look at it the blooms were still on it with the sun on it. The flowers are yellow and she says you can sit there in the evening and watch the flower petals unfold one at a time. Right now the plant is dry and not that attractive due to the end of the season. Large stems originate at ground level and have many small pointed leaves. Interspersed in those leaves are the yellow flowers. I took some seeds and they are very tiny, similar in size to columbine seeds but brown not black. We were hoping for a name for the plant. Her is about 3 feet tall right now. Mary Wenger Georgia zone7   Galanthophile  Posted on Monday, September 15, 2003 - 08:17 am EST :    This is Evening Primrose or Oenothera. I have a fabulous one called Lemon Sunset - see pic. It seeds around very freely so you should get some plants next year if you've saved seed.

I have a white one but don't know the name off hand. I have not found any seeds so must check. Sue, I hope you find "Sunset Boulevard" , No idea what color it might be. Meg ND Zone 4
