Evening Blooming Primrose (Oenothera)

My Evening Blooming Primroses (Oenothera) are in full blooming mode. They open at dusk and you can actually watch them open. When the morning light hits them, the shrivel up. By dusk they are ready to bloom again from new buds. Once you get them started, they spread like weeds! If you want some to transplant, let me know.

I found a YouTube video of them opening. The woman taking the video seemed to get pretty excited.
