If you're like me, when you hear the adage, "April showers bring May flowers," the flowers that come to mind are ones you or a neighbor planted. But those aren't the  only flowers that bloom in May. This month I'm going to feature May-blooming flowers that I found in the prairie. Yes, wildflowers.

These are Evening Primroses, flowers that -- as their name suggests -- start to bloom at dusk. They last only a day, frequently fading early the next morning, but while they're blooming, they're beautiful. At least I think so.
