Oenothera caespitosa |

The descriptions sound like a typical evening primrose, what with the flowers lasting for a day and fading from white to pink. It will be interesting to see how it differs from other similar species - the species name refers to the dense tufts of basal foliage. Some sources report this being a rampant spreader, so I'll be on the lookout for those tendencies, too. Mostly described as a wildflower, not a garden subject.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. About my plant portraits
- Seed from '02 trade. Baggy 70F with light (69%G, 5-8d)
- Same seed as above. Baggy 70F (94%G, 4-8d)
Light appears not to be necessary. Maintains viability well.
