Author Notes
Common Evening Primroses are actually beautiful flowers, I used this flower for the name "common" in real life, some people feel 'plain' or 'common' but they are really beautiful inside. We may all be primroses yearning to be loved the way we are.
Common Evening Primrose is a yellow flower that blooms from early summer to early fall. They open in the evening and remain open until the following morning. The whole plant is edible, lemon-scented, and attracts night-flying moths at night and bees in the morning.
