Evening primroses are also known as buttercups. This name is derived from the fact that the 2.5 to 3 inch in diameter bloom is cup-shaped and buttery-colored pollen is left usually on the nose when one smells the bloom. White Evening Primrose blooms from March to July. Shown in early April. (San Antonio, Tx.)
