Still not identified
This beautiful flower I've been telling you about still goes unidentified. My good friend Karl at Tropical Plants Library gave it the good old college try. I thought he was on to something when he told me it could possibly be a Florida wildflower - Cutleaf Evening Primrose - Oenothera laciniata. But when I researched it it didn't match. The flower is not the same in the center nor are the leaves alike. It's a quandry but I'm sure there's someone out there who can help. I've spoken about Tropical Plants Library before, a site owned by Master Gardener Landscaping of Fort Lauderdale, landscape designers who also have a mail order plant business, and have them on my links page. Karl, thanks again for trying and I invite everyone to visit his site. In the meantime, I hope someone will be able to identify this gorgeous plant. Happy Florida Gardening.
