night bloomer
 

I have a plant in my garden whose blooms open at dusk and die the next morning. The leaves are very similar to a dandelion; the flower is pale yellow with four petals forming a petunia-like bloom. Thanks for any help, I am in Ontario, Canada

Check out evening primrose.

Thanks, but I don't think that's it. There is only one bloom per stem.

How about nicotiana (common name : Flowering Tobacco)?
