Evening Primrose

All that I could find in my flower book that looked similar is 'primrose'. Could that be it?
My flower book didn't prove to be very helpful. It's hard to find anything in it.
I acquired a D50 from a friend, so of oourse had to give it a test run. Photo shot in natural light.

Beautiful shot, Vern. Sorry I don't know what flower it is.

I was going to ask you the same question. I used to have a bunch of them growing along my driveway. I loved the flowers, but the spent seed pods looked pretty ratty.

Beautiful bright image against the black bg Vern. Does resemble an Evening Primrose, but I' not sure either.

It's an Evening Primrose, Vern, Oenothera glazioviana.

The young flower resembles a crocus but I know it is not.

Lovely contrast against the black background, my kind of shot! ~v~

I think the kind of flower is a "Fabulously Beautiful Flower" LOL dang that D50 sure did the job wonderfully. As I mentioned earlier, it is one of the most amazing cameras Nikon has made.
