Desert Evening Primrose
I grow
in the bajadas
alone rocky slopes
pushing aside
dry gravel
in search of sun.
No rain
shortens my growth,
hastening
my buds
to open early
in the cool
of the evening,
closing by
mid-morning.
I am
a primrose,
oenothera primiveris
by name.
Beautiful !!! THX for sharing Ken
Without wildflowers, what would spring be!
That’s why when the weather allows we love hiking nude this time of year. Gives a lot more photo options !! 🙂
I can imagine!
Luv the photo opts!
Always great work. I look for your pictures every time I log on.
Thank you! I appreciate you following my blog.
