The dandelion looking leaves produce
blossoms much like many evening primroses. When it is dark in
the evening, the blossoms open within a matter of seconds. As
I remember, they were pale yellow.

 The consensus among
Jennie Stanger, MSUE Agent in Monroe County, Marion Harris and
Margot from Wayne County is that these are the leaves of a
type of evening primrose of the species, Oenothera flava.
This is a relative of the more commonly grown evening
primrose, Oenothera missouriensis. |
