Evening Primrose. 
185 
“ Let every pale night-scented flower, 
Sad emblem of passion forlorn, 
Resign its appropriate hour 
To enhance the rich breath of the morn. 
“ All that art or that nature can find, 
Not half so delightful would prove, 
Nor their sweets altogether combined 
Half so sweet as the breath of my love. ” 
The large-flowered evening primrose, typical of inconstancy , 
is a native of Virginia. Notwithstanding its unstable character, 
it is a great favourite with florists.
