Exploring the Evening primrose Plants

8 most common species:
Chylismiella
Chylismiella
Chylismia
Chylismia
Chylismia includes about 16 species.
Lopezia
Lopezia
Lopezia is a genus of plants of the family Onagraceae, largely restricted to Mexico. According to the Plant List, 22 species are recognized in the genus lopezia.
Gaura
Gaura
Gaura features airy, butterfly-like blooms that sway in the breeze. The flowers come in shades of white or pink, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. This drought-tolerant plant is perfect for rock gardens and borders, or mixed in with other wildflowers for a natural, meadow-like effect.
Circaea
Enchanter's nightshades
Enchanter's nightshades (Circaea) are a small genus of flowering plants that grow in temperate regions in the Northern Hemisphere. These woodland species disperse their seeds by way of burrs, which easily attach to fur, feathers and clothing. Enchanter's nightshades commonly have small white flowers and slender stems with opposite leaves.
Eulobus
Eulobus
Camissonia
Sun cup
Sun cup is a genus of annual and perennial plants in the evening primrose family Onagraceae. A total of 12 species are known, nearly all from western North America, especially in the California Floristic Province, but also one from South America. The flowers generally open at dawn, and may be yellow, white, or lavender, often with darker shades at the base. They are usually cup-shaped, thus the common name. The species of sun cup are distinguished by having a club- or head-shaped stigma, instead of the 4-part-divided stigma of Oenothera or Clarkia.
Fuchsia
Fuchsias
The fuchsias are a group of flowering shrubs and small trees in the evening primrose family. Fuchsias are extremely popular as ornamental plants – they tend to bear pendulous flowers with distinctive forms and striking colors. The use of the word "fuschia" to describe a bright shade of purplish-red is derived from these plants (not the other way around).

Evening Primrose
Oenothera
Evening Primrose
The evening Primrose (Oenothera) are a group of herbaceous flowering plants. These plants are so-called because many of them bloom at dusk and stay open overnight – because of this trait, they are an important source of food for nighttime pollinators, such as moths and bats. Many evening Primrose are planted ornamentally. They are especially popular in the American southwest, where they are prized for their showy flowers and their high tolerance to drought.

Willowherbs
Epilobium
Willowherbs
The willowherbs (Epilobium) are a large and highly diverse group of flowering plants in the evening primrose family. Willowherbs can be extremely hardy plants, and they are often some of the first to colonize disturbed or burnt landscapes. Many willowherbss are used symbolically or in crests or sigils - Fireweed (C. angustifolium), for instance, is the official flower of the Yukon Territory, and is displayed on its flag.
Clarkia
Clarkia
Clarkia
Clarkia are a long-lasting annual wildflower often found in wildflower mixes. It often produces double or triple petals with vibrant colors such as pink. The scientific name Clarkia was named after William Clark who led the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1804-1806. It is native to the United States, becoming more common in California due to its inclusion in flower mixes.
Primrose-Willow
Ludwigia
Primrose-Willow
Primrose-Willow are a widespread genus of tropical and subtropical aquatic plants. Many species are noxious and harmful to native aquatic plant life, due to their dense, fast-growing nature. In some areas, some species of this genus are on the plant quarantine list, banned from being transported, bought or sold.

Dracaena
Dracaena
Dracaena are popular house plants that are easy to grow. They can tolerate low-light conditions and require little watering. Their leaves range from variegated to dark green. Their characteristic traits include woody stems that grow slowly but offer a striking appearance for small spaces such as apartments or offices.
Ficus
Fig trees
Fig trees have been cultivated in many regions for their fruits, particularly the common fig, F. carica. Most of the species have edible fruits, although the common fig is the only one of commercial value. Fig trees are also important food sources for wildlife in the tropics, including monkeys, bats, and insects.
Rubus
Brambles
Brambles are members of the rose family, and there are hundreds of different types to be found throughout the European countryside. They have been culturally significant for centuries; Christian folklore stories hold that when the devil was thrown from heaven, he landed on a bramble bush. Their vigorous growth habit can tangle into native plants and take over.
Acer
Maples
The popular tree family known as maples change the color of their leaves in the fall. Many cultural traditions encourage people to watch the colors change, such as momijigari in Japan. Maples popular options for bonsai art. Alternately, their sap is used to create maple syrup.
Prunus
Prunus
Prunus is a genus of flowering fruit trees that includes almonds, cherries, plums, peaches, nectarines, and apricots. These are often known as "stone fruits" because their pits are large seeds or "stones." When prunus trees are damaged, they exhibit "gummosis," a condition in which the tree's gum (similar to sap) is secreted to the bark to help heal external wounds.
Solanum
Nightshades
Nightshades is a large and diverse genus of plants, with more than 1500 different types worldwide. This genus incorporates both important staple food crops like tomato, potato, and eggplant, but also dangerous poisonous plants from the nightshade family. The name was coined by Pliny the Elder almost two thousand years ago.
Rosa
Roses
Most species of roses are shrubs or climbing plants that have showy flowers and sharp thorns. They are commonly cultivated for cut flowers or as ornamental plants in gardens due to their attractive appearance, pleasant fragrance, and cultural significance in many countries. The rose hips (fruits) can also be used in jams and teas.
Quercus
Oaks
Oaks are among the world's longest-lived trees, sometimes growing for over 1,000 years! The oldest known oak tree is in the southern United States and is over 1,500 years old. Oaks produce an exceedingly popular type of wood which is used to make different products, from furniture and flooring to wine barrels and even cosmetic creams.
