Flower identification
Feb 25, 2020 04:48:24 #
I found this lone spring bloom in eastern Washington grassland near the Snake River in Asotin Co. I thought it might be a primrose but it does not fit any white flower in my limited guides. I have obviously run a Topaz filter on it and burned and dodged the final image, but the leaf and flower structure should still help identify it. I would appreciate any help in identification.

If you ask me, this picture seems like a art. I didn't get anything wrong with this white flower.

Try the Inaturalist app for your phone, it works great on identifying plants and animals.

Another app you can download to identify buildings, foliage, etc is "Google Lens". It's free and remarkable!

That's very nice. Definitely Oenothera -- in evening primrose family -- 4-finger stigma, hammer-head styles, 4 petals, etc., but don't know the species. Bet the pollen is viscous and thready, carried by hawkmoth proboscis to the next pistil.

iNaturalist identifies it by taking a picture of your photo on the computer screen as Evening Primrose!!

Very nice shot of the Evening Primrose. Is it fragrant?
