Kent roadside ID?
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? Les -- Remove Frontal Lobes to reply direct.

Stace has 5 species naturalised in the British Isles, of which Oenothera glazioviana is both the commonest and the largest flowered.
