Friday Flowers: Mystery Yellow Flower


Mom has a tendency to pick flowers up at the local garden club sales. She knows she got these there, but doesn't know what they are called.


She loves the bright cheerful colors, but these flowers grow like weeds. We had to go out and help Dog Dad trim them back a little while ago. They can take the whole garden if you aren't careful.

  5. Well, I call those "Babci's flowers"! My Babci (grandma) lived in Philadelphia and had a backyard garden in her alley way, about 2 feet by 4 feet. These flowers were in her garden. WHen we had to sell her house and move her into a nursing home, my mom dug up some of those flowers and planted them in her garden. They multiplied like rabbits. When I bought my house, she gave me some, and they multiplied like rabbits again. WHen we moved recently, I made sure to bring some along, and they continue to multiply. They are my favorite!

    Pretty sure their fancy name is : oenothera. But feel free to call them Babci's flowers :)

  13. I'm not sure what those are either, but they sure are pretty. Since I'm not good at keeping plants alive in my garden, I wouldn't mind one that takes care of itself and takes over.

  16. I have these in my garden, and I love them. They do spread a lot, but don't seem to take over like some others I have. My sister and I have always called them "Sundrops" but I think they might actually be "Evening Primrose".
