Evening Primrose - Sunshine in the Night

In the early morning or evening, you might find this sunshine yellow flower open.  This is a Common Evening Primrose.  She opens in the evening and closes in the day.  Some people claim the oil from her seeds is a help for a variety of ills including ezcema, osteoporosis, MS, cancer, high cholesterol, and many other things.  For some time, Britain approved this oil for treating eczema and breast pain, it has since been taken off the list, claiming the effectiveness is in question

Be careful of the heat, but enjoy!
