There's a big blousy yellow flowered plant appearing on the verges here in
Kent. Large, beautiful cup shaped flowers on a spire. Three inches across
and as much deep... a bit like evening primrose.

Not the worlds best description... any ideas though?

A different evening primrose? That doesn't sound like a bad description
of Oenothera biennis and the like.

Thanks Stewart! Now, how did that arrive here?

They really are splendid and being a delivery driver i see lots of them in
the verges... They really brighten up the place )

They self-seed readily enough; I've had them in my garden for years.
Stace has 5 species naturalised in the British Isles, of which Oenothera
glazioviana is both the commonest and the largest flowered.
