Wildflower Field notes: Prairie Evening Primrose is a common wildflower in the plains. When their flowers first emerge they are pure white. As the flowers mature they begin to turn light pink... like the pictured plant. 

Look for Prairie Evening Primrose in dry, sunny and sandy areas such as open fields, slopes, and along roadways.
