Yellow Evening Primrose

At Geff & Sharyn Stoner’s

 

 

Geff Stoner knows I enjoy flowers and taking pictures, so told us several months ago, that he is going to let us know when their evening primrose are blooming.

 

 

They bloom at night and by the next evening the bloom has died.

 

 

We waited and waited but none opened.

 

 

Geff and Sharyn both remembered that many opened before dark in previous years – but not on this night. 

 

 

So I walked around and took pictures of other things, while we kept checking the primrose.

 

 

Geff and Cerwin visiting. I forgot to get a photo while Sharyn was outside.

 

 

Sharyn keeps beautiful flowerbeds and decorates with unique things.

 

 

 

 

My cousin’s (Bob Hershey’s) cows can walk right up to the Stoner’s yard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was a beautiful evening.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By sunset Geff decided that they must be opening much later than he remembered.

Since they only live a mile from us, we decided to come back again the next night.
