Waiting

I know- another flower pic. But this isn’t just any flower.

In most instances, in order to see a flower bloom, you have to have: a lot of time on your hands and the patience of no one on earth, or access to time lapse photographic equipment. Or YouTube.

This is an Evening Primrose. The bloom on the right looked like the bud on the left about a minute or so before the picture was taken. The color is a bit washed out because they bloom at dusk. They emit a pleasant fragrance with a hint of… pepper?

Hardly any waiting. The perfect flower for today’s instant-everything crowd. And low-cost entertainment.

Actually, a nice way to spend a few minutes at the end of the day.
