The Living Forest (289) : Evening Primrose

The variety of the forest flora is very rich.
Look what I found this time : 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’s a great nocturnal source of nectar for moths.

Dutch name : Middelste Teunisbloem
German name : Gemeine Nachtkerze
Latin name : Oenothera biennis

With this shot, I say bye-bye for some time, for I’m leaving on holiday tomorrow.
I hope to see you all safe and sound somewhere in august.
