Photographer: Jane Hendrix Note: True to its common name, this yellow Evening Primrose blooms at night. I had to get up before dawn the next day to capture its blossom fully open. It stands just 2 to 3 inches tall. Photo was taken March 28. (Sent: Alpine-l@nic.surfnet.nl) (Click on the picture to enlarge) |
