Nature Note:Primrose Path

The evening-primrose is in bloom.You see the yellow flowers open in the early morning;they wilt later in the day.The flowers attract the ruby-throated hummingbird,but I haven't seen that little visitor as of yet.It will drink the primrose nectar through its long,slender bill.Hummingbirds also like red flowers.Evening-primrose is a wildflower that prefers dry or sandy areas.
