Evening primrose

Evening primrose are a family of plants distinguished by their usually four-petaled flowers, often arranged in a cross shape, which bloom from evening to morning, leading to their nickname as 'evening primroses'. Adapted to a range of environments, these plants typically have long tubes formed by their petals, aiding pollination by moths. Their seeds are often contained in capsules that open at maturity.
