Primrose in Bloom this Summer

Another Golden Beauty Evening Primrose in bloom today.
This busy little beeing is collecting pollen.
Native Americans used the whole plant for treating bruises and used its roots for treating hemorrhoids. The leaves were traditionally used for tending to minor wounds, gastrointestinal issues, and sore throats.
Today, oil pressed from the plant’s seeds is marketed in capsule form to help a number of conditions including eczema, rheumatoid arthritis, premenstrual syndrome, and osteoporosis.
It’s drought tolerant too and loves the sunshine.
