O ne of the most startling wildflower displays on the prairie occurs when this species blooms in late spring. Packing vivid yellow blossoms over five inches across, Evening Primrose really turns heads! It can commonly be seen on road cuts and other rough ground, which makes it even more noticeable since there is no competing vegetation to block the view.
