Flowers at Dusk then the flowers die during the day and new ones bloom the next night. I know this is a variety of evening primrose, but im trying to pinpoint exactly which one. Found in the mountains around Pollockpines in California. Thanks

If you found it growing in the wild, it's probably Oenothera elata or one of its subspecies, that's the one bright yellow flowered one that occurs in that area. [HYPERLINK@www.calflora.org]

Thanks Ecrane3 i think you may be right because the research im doing on the name you gave states it can get 6 feet tall. the other species i was looking at get 4 feet tall. these definatly get 6 to 7 feet tall. Thanks again and have a great day. Checkout the Moth in the pic.
