The Living Forest (85) : Common Evening Primrose
Last summer the variety of the forest flora was very rich. Look what I found : an Evening Primrose.
The yellow flowers of this plant open in the evening (hence its name) and close by the following noon. This way, it is a great nocturnal source of nectar for moths.
Dutch name : Middelste Teunisbloem
German name : Gemeine Nachtkerze
Latin name : Oenothera biennis

Oh, so nice against the black background. Great focus, beautifully done.It often surprises me that we really have so many plants here in BC that originally must come from Europe!!
best wishes, Adele
