***************
▶ "Oenothera speciosa —commonly called white evening primrose, pink evening primrose, and pink ladies— is a flowering perennial in the Onagraceae (evening primrose) family, native to the American Midwest into Mexico but which has naturalized into 28 of the lower 48 United States.

Oenothera speciosa grows to 10 to 24 feet tall, featuring fragrant, bowl-shaped, four-petaled, white flowers (2 to 3 inches in diameter) with yellow anthers. The flowers often mature to rosy pink. The flowers open in the evening and remain open to late morning (all day if overcast). The 'Rosea' variety has flowers that are pale pink with bright white stigmas and a yellow center.

The genus name 'Oenothera' may have come from the Greek words 'oinos' and 'theras' meaning wine-seeker in a probable reference to an ancient use of the roots of the plants in scenting wine."
