Oenothera speciosa, also known as the pink evening primrose, is a small, 4-petal flower distributed along southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico. As the name reveals, this flower tends to open mainly during the evening hours and close in the ear
ly morning. One can usually find the pink lady in plains, prairies, meadows, and/or hillsides. I, for one, located these pretty little flowers on a grassy hillside on campus. For now, they will be very abundant due to the high moisture in the soil and the consistent rain. However, during the summer they will become dormant until they can re-colonize in their preferred soil with the perfect balance between dry and moist. I think the best way to describe these little plants is the word “cute.”
