Scientific Name: Oenothera speciosa Common Name(s): Pinkladies, pink evening primrose Family: Onagraceae (evening primrose) Life Cycle: Perennial Leaf Retention: Semi-evergreen Habit: Forb USDA L48 Native Status: Native Location: Plano, Texas Season(s): Spring

I’m, like, irrationally obsessed with these sepals.

One peculiar characteristic of Oenothera flowers is the tendency for their sepals to fuse at the tips, forming a pennant to one side of the stem. And I think the ones in this particular patch have more swag than usual. Instead of just plain green, these are injected with yellow (chartreuse?) and bordered with sharp red stripes so they really stand out. It’s like someone who is traditional enough to wear regimental ties yet chic enough to toss them insouciantly to one side. Oh, so good.

Cast for the new Leif & Thorn: Off-Shoots storyline!

That's right, it's a Petal and Sepal adventure. Involving a law firm, which means I'm taking the opportunity to bring back Cress.
