Eliza Waters 
They really are little drops of sunshine! Lovely. Happy Sunday, Eliza.
Thank you, Dale! ❤
Pleasure!
So gorgeous. Somehow yellow flowers always makes me a little emotional.
Thank you, Maria. The color does carry many different connotations across many cultures, some not always sunny. ❤

Wowww. Nature really does replicate itself —these flowers do mimic the sun in radiance. No words needed. And great shot Eliza —you handle the camera expertly.
Thank you kindly, Dee!
Simple bloom but it packs a big dose of beauty which will bring a smile to a gardener.
Thanks, Judy. They grow anywhere and are quite useful in tough spots.
Drops of sunshine
Yes, they’re so cheerful in the garden right now. 🙂
Lovely, they make my mouth water for lemon drops. 🍋
🙂 I hadn’t thought of that, but I can see that now!
Our version is Berlandier’s Sundrops (Oenotheran berlandieri), which has a noticeable black stigma. They’re beautiful flowers, and well named, although I have to travel a bit west to find them.
I looked up yours and the foliage looks drought resistant, well suited to your climate.
Even apart from drought, it likes rocky, well-draining soil. I usually find it in the Hill Country, which tends toward far more dryness than my area.
So beautiful!!
Thank you!
Sunny and buttery…and here they just keep spreading..coming up between bricks on the patio, in crevices, discarded hanging baskets, in pots…more and more delightful sundrops.
They are easy to pull up if they take over, but I usually let them fill in all the spaces in between. 🙂
Beautiful – and a great folk name too.
Thank you, Susan. I’ve quite a sea of them after many years, not a problem for me!
So soothing 💛
Sunny Sunday sunshine! 🙂
Sunny here too. Prickly pear is now over and shriveled in the heat. It is doing what it needs to do. What a wonderful lesson. 💕
Yes!
What a cheerful composition this is!
Thank you, Anne. They really are like drops of sunshine!
Very.nice Eliza! Beautiful image!
Thank you, Reed!
Delicate and vibrant…lovely photo, Eliza.
Thank you very much, Jet. And I might add, very prolific!
Love that hint of orange in the yellow hues! Pretty pretty!
Thank you, Donna! It earns its name. 🙂
Such a nice summer display!
Thank you, Tina. They are definitely putting on a cheerful show right now. 🙂
So lovely!
Thank you very much, Carol!
Sunny Sunday! Beautiful.
Thanks, Cindy!
Such sweet, bright little beauties! 💛
Thank you, Julie!
Beautiful sundrops Eliza! 💛
Thank you, Xenia. They have spread quite a lot in my garden, but it’s hard to mind that. 🙂
I’ve never heard of “sundrops” before, and they’re gorgeous. Snowdrops, of course, but I didn’t know there was a golden yellow variety.
Thanks, Debbie. It’s a sunny flower, for sure, but there isn’t much ‘drop’ to them. 🙂
A perfect name for these little beauties. Wonderful photo!
Thank you, Belinda!
🤩💛🤩💛🤗
🙂 ❤ ❤

Perfectly named 🙂
Thanks, Kris, I must agree!
I’m not familiar with Oenothera fruticosa, which a range map shows growing in the eastern half of the United States and Canada. As Linda pointed out, we have other species in Texas.
Thanks, Steve. It a popular and prolific garden plant in these parts.
Yellow’s yellow. Bright as the sun. 🙂
Yes, indeed… I have a sea of them out there in the garden!
Lovely. can you send some to Aussie 😀
Thanks, Deepa, I would if I could. 🙂 But at least your days are now growing longer (as ours grow shorter, alas).
Just beautiful
Thank you, Karina, ❤
Stunning shot!
Thank you, Alys!
Sweet flowers and a brilliant yellow, Eliza. Are they quite small?
They are each about 2″ in diameter. Hundreds of blossoms spread across my garden right now are quite brilliant indeed!
Reblogged this on NEW BLOG HERE >> https:/BOOKS.ESLARN-NET.DE.
Remind me of sunshine and butter – happiness! 😁
They sure are the brightest thing in the garden right now! 🙂
An appropriate name for these pretty, bright yellow beauties!
Thank you, they really light up the garden!
Very bright and beautiful, yellow does have an effect on me too, can’t say what…memories perhaps… absolutely beautiful Eliza 👌
Thank you, Agnes, the color always cheers me up. 🙂
🙂
