The Primrose Path


Cut-leaf Evening Primrose

No I haven't started drinking again. I did a 5 mile tempo run over Dickcissel Fields where these Cut-leaf Evening Primroses are starting to grow in abundance. Evening Primroses are so called because they usually bloom in the evening or dusk since they are pollinated by Luna Moths and other night flying insect creatures. Sometimes they come out cloudy days like today. Saw some Wild Mustards and Toadflax on the road also. They're the second wave of wildflowers that will stay around a month or so until the summer heat brings some of the more heat resistant, hardier species.

Had a decent run after a little layoff. Did 5 miles at 46:58 at 9:24 per mile.
