An Evening Primrose or Moon Flower, still looking grand this morning before the sun hit it!

These flowers open in the evening relatively quickly and are fascinating to watch. They only exist overnight into the next morning when the sun hits them and they shrivel and drop off.

Yesterday's photo:

Canon EOS R5
1/320s f/7.1 at 500.0mm iso1600 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Interesting, I don't think I've ever seen one (perhaps I'm asleep!).

That's a short life. Might be pollinated by moths.
