Evening Primroses

Graestone always has a surprise for us. After seven years we still have new plants and flowers appear. Ruth plants things all the time, but these are plants that were waiting for water and care.

About four years ago, Evening Primroses appeared in the “cemetery,” and every morning in the summer we look out at the yellow flowers. By 10:00 am they are wilted and gone, but the next morning more have bloomed. What we didn’t know was that when a flower blooms it happens in about fifteen seconds.

This film clip is dark because this happens in the dark. Look to the left as there are actually two opening. This is not time-lapse photography.
