Flickingeria Denigrata

Common evening primrose, scientifically known as Flickingeria denigrata, is a hardy flowering plant native to the arid regions of North America. It thrives in sandy or gravelly soils and is often found in disturbed areas such as roadsides and dry fields. The plant is named for its tendency to bloom in the late afternoon, as the sun begins to set. Its striking yellow flowers attract a variety of pollinators, including bees and moths. Despite its common name, this species is relatively rare and has faced threats from habitat loss and environmental changes.
