Mexican Primrose
We call those "Buttercups" in Texas.
Oenothera speciosa is a species of evening primrose known by several common names, including pinkladies, pink evening primrose, showy evening primrose, Mexican primrose, and amapola. It is self seeding and can be invasive. Likes well drained soil and is drought tolerant. Enjoys full sun, partial sun and partial shade. Will bloom from spring until early autumn. It is often referred to as being a buttercup, however it is not in the buttercup family therefore it is not a true buttercup.
We do call them Buttercups in Texas....but Carrie Davis is right. They grow wild here and cover the pastures along the highways with a sea of pink. They bloom just after our famous Blue Bonnets and before our Paint Brushes and Indian blankets. On a side note I was in Greece three years ago and our bus stopped on a corner....there were Evening Primrose growing in a bucket! I took a photo so people would believe me.
