My dad always told me that the evening primrose was so called because
its
flowers only opened in the evening. That hasn't been my experience.

thanks for your help,looking at photos of OENOTHERA this is deffinately
the plant i have.

Since I posted the above I Googled too and compared the pictures with the
actual flowers I can see in next door's garden.

They're open all day long. Probably all night too - and the individual
blooms last for several days.
