 Hooker's Evening Primrose Oenothera elata hookeri also oenothera elata subsp. hookeri, oenothera hookeri, oenothera hookeri subsp. hookeri |
 Interesting Info |
 Blooms in early to mid-July. |
 I found a few plants behind Walmart and alongside Highway 97 at the Joe Wright Road intersection. |
 The rest of the plants I've seen are in close proximity to water in the ditches alongside Highway 97. |
 I've found these where the soil was boggy and loamy and where the soil was dry and hard packed. |

 This and the next three pictures were taken August 1. The flowers have been in bloom for the last four or five weeks. |

 This and the next seven pictures are October foliage. |
 It looks like this will make an excellent paper. These appear to be perennials. |
 The plants die back and grow back from the root each spring, so the plants can be harvested freely after going to seed. |
