sundrops and evening primrose…

Evening primroses – emerging and unfurling in the late afternoon for a single night

In the evenings I walk in the garden and they glow lemon yellow in the dusk

This scent too reminds me of my mother, of long midsummers and falling asleep when there is still light…

The birds love the seeds later on, and meanwhile these delicate beauties attract moths at night, bees by day

I love too how the fading flowers turn to a burnt orange red the next day
