Oenothera speciosa
This plant is a showy but a fairly aggressive spreader in my garden
. There are people that say it could take over the world. I continually tell it not to go past the brick edge. (I don’t talk to my plants very often. Ah, maybe I do.) I pull, dig, and hoe the plants that get on the wrong side of the tracks - I mean bricks.
The blooms started in the beginning of June. They still look good today. The pretty pink profusion of blooms has found a way into my heart.
