It turns out the weed flower is a Yellow Evening Primrose. Although it waits until dawn to bloom.
Several Primroses with Brown-eyed Susans, and Susan’s Cottonwood in the background.

They are so beautiful!
They are pretty and in the words of Seller and Yeatman from “1066 and All That” they are also “weeny, weedy, and weaky” (their translation of “Veni, vidi, vici”).
They are especially Weeny anf a little weaky but I love them just the same.
Have you read “1066 and All That”? It’s hilarious if you are into medieval history and British humor.
They are beautiful, Tim! Wish we had some here. 🙂
Thanks, Lavinia. Looking up this variety, I saw that there are primroses that grow 7 to 9 feet tall on the west coast.
They still look nice the next day. 😊
Thanks, John.
The second photo is the best one 🙂
Thanks, Harry.
So that’s what they look like. I’m sure Primrose won’t feel bad for being naned a weed flower! 😉🙂
There are lots of varieties of primrose, but this does give you a good idea of what they look like. Thanks, Marina.

Primmyroses…. We get spring ones here. Still got my dad’s in a pot in the garden.
I have different primroses, Tim. I suppose there are different varieties. Mine bloom in early spring. Again you prove weeds are beautiful too!! xo
Hi Amy Rose. In my search for the variety of this one, I saw that there are many, many types of primrose. They are pretty.
And oh so pretty!
We had some white primrose several years ago.
So pretty, especially for this time of year!
Beautiful!
Thanks, Brandi. How are you and your kitties?
Good but bored of being home!
Sorry to hear you are bored. Understandable. You need to make some music or art.
I should get back into drawing! I used to be really good.
Lovely post.
Thanks, rajkkhoja.
I love the colours and light. The shrivelled up flowers make the plants look even better.
So… those are all wild flowers, including those amazing pretty Primroses? Just gorgeous. Holly chose wild flowers for her flower gown. I’ve yet to draw that one. I like the textures one gets with the wildflowers.
Now, the shrivelled up ones are adding more to the texture!
I’m so excited to see what this gown will look like.
I’ve got the folder started for the next adventure, and your flower shots are all in there. I love the second shot!! Are Brown-Eyed Susans wild flowers?
Hi Resa. Brown-eyed and black-eyed Susans are wildflowers. Good choice by Holly.
It’s perfect! They are so poetic looking!
Hey Tim … of course a primrose! Can’t believe I didn’t pick it … 🙂
It may be different from yours if you have them. There seems to be a lot of varieies of primroses.
I think it may be a different … 🙂
Wildflowers like primroses teach us a lot about life. Though being just tossed around, they find they way to bloom and flourish – and remind us that a new day is here at the first streak of dawn, to hope and to dream, and to continue living. 🙂
Thanks, Marga.
