Long overdue! These started blooming months ago, and kind of bloom on their own schedule. Hooker's Evening Primrose is a very pretty biennial buuuuuuut it can really seed out 🧵 #photography #primrose #oenothera #elata #xeriscaping #wildflower #california #garden #bloomscrolling

Possibly the tallest evening primrose, Oenothera elata starts as a mass of long, narrow green leaves that forms a mound. Some plants will mature faster than others, but generally they bloom somewhere between February and August before seeding and dying or starting over 🧵
