June 13, 2012 -- after dark

Got home after dark--and had to go flower-gathering then if I was to do a new windowsill arrangement. Easy, actually, because I knew the evening primrose was blooming. This one is 'Tina James,' which has huge yellow flowers that open as the sun is setting (and after). It's pollinated by moths, and John, my neighbors, and I usually sit and watch it open on July 4, but it's early this year.  Truly--the way its flowers open is worthy of Disney.
