The plant is about a foot tall, with a bright yellow flower that looks
like a large buttercup. Blooms mid-to-late spring. I bought it at a
native plant sale (I'm near Baltimore), so it's native to this area.
It spread nicely.

Does it looks like the images at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oenothera ? The most distinctive thing here
is the cross-shaped stigma (may or may not show up well in photos due to
lighting, but it is pretty easy to spot in person).

That could be it.


you just don't recognize the flower stalk and the small leaf clusters as
being the same plant (I know I didn't the first year).

That's possible. Thanks.
