Drizzly Yellow. Oenothera biennis, Common Evening Primrose, Blerick, The Netherlands

            Well, the train was on its way up north to Amsterdam from Venlo when it braked for a stuck freight train up the line. We had to return to Venlo but I got off in the drizzle at the town of Blerick to catch another to Nijmegen and then on to my destination. Blerick was replete with cold drizzle but I whiled away my waiting time anyway by exploring the field next to the railway. Lots of Evening Primroses there, opened up in spite of the wetness.
They hail from North America but are attested in Europe - notably the Botanical Garden at Padova at the beginning of the seventeenth century. In  Dutch they're called 'Teunisbloem', Anthony's Flower. It is said that's for St Anthony of Padova whose birthday is close to the first flowering annually of our plant here...
