Description
Latin name: Oenothera.
Dutch: Teunisbloem.
While I took pictures of this Evening-Primroses, suddenly there came a butterfly land on it.
Great surprise :)
When our children were young, she liked it very much, to see how this flower unfold itself
in one our two minutes, as it gets dark.
I like very much the smell of these flowers, so very sweet,
a bit like the Honeysuckle.
BTW, I have facial cream, in which is used the Evening-Primrose.
Will I be a late-night bloomer now?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Information, translated by Google from Dutch to English:
The plant flowers from late June to mid August. The seeds of most species ripen from August to October. The capsule contains approximately 200 seeds from which a valuable oil is extracted.
The genus is related to the fireweed. Many species are night-bloomers and the flowers have a habit of evening twilight in the open. The buds unfold in a few minutes to flowers. The next day they wither, but the evening with new flowers open, so for weeks. They are pollinated by nocturnal insects.

Wishing you all a blessed Pentecost,
Mies.

wonderful flowershot !! like the butterfly too :)
Absolutely gorgeous Mies.
Beautiful capture of this wonderful flower and butterfly! :) I like butterflies so much better when they grow up. This morning I found a big fat Caterpillar on one of my tomato plants, it strip away a lot of leaves down to the stems over night. Yikes! I found it a new home on the far side of the yard. :)
i have some capsules with the oil from this plant, they are meant to keep one absolutely CALM! GRRRR! What a lovely surprise to have the insect land for you, perhaps it smelled your face cream?
