Beach Evening Primrose
While doing a little bird watching on McFaddin Beach, I came across this Oenothera drummondii. Beach Evening Primrose is a Texas native perennial, that usually grows in the protected areas behind and between sand dunes. Beach Evening Primrose is a good plant for attracting butterflies.
