July 2013 in the Northern Hemisphere

I found this Lychnis flos-cuculi se veral years ago in the Woods near my summer house. I have never seen one with such flowers before. 


    Lychnis flos cuculi
    Corydalis calcicola
    Delphinium cashmerianum
    Nothilirion bulbiferum
    Primula florindae

That's a really nice color form of the Primula florindae.  I have the yellow one here and had an orange one that didn't last, but it was not a favorite anyway.  How tall does it grow for you?

[Hkind]

Primula florindae seeds around in my garden. There are reds, yellows and shades between. In moist places it may be 70 cm high. Where it's dry, the plants are smaller.

Oenothera caespitosa and O. taraxifolia are flowering in the night.

But surely not only in the night, Franz?

In my garden Oenothera caespitosa opens up white in afternoon. At noon next day it has changed colour (see image) and in the evening it has withered.

Hannelote,
Really in the night!
It opens its petals when it is dark. In the morning, the flower has withered.

Hi Hannelote,
yours looks like O. acaulis rather than O. caespitosa; we have this and it opens in the evening pure white and fades in the morning but if the day is not too hot/dry it re-opens in the evening pink!cheers

Thank you, Fermi!
