It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog! Today's image is of a trio of Missouri Evening Primroses. They usually bloom May through July. The flowers generally open in the evening and close by mid morning the following day. Night flying moths are the pollinators. They are very drought hardy plants and can be found growing in very rocky soils.
I guess I am out early enough in the morning that I have not noticed any closed.
ReplyDeleteHowever ones that might be closed, I likely view as having "died" because I never clued into the "evening" name🙄
☺️ They may have been ones that were open the night before and "died"
