    Answer

    Dear Auntie, you've photographed Oenothera perennis (little evening-primrose). This is a native species that looks quite different from most of the more robust species in the genus that many are familiar with. If you look at the ovary, you will see wing angles that helps to identify this group of evening-primroses.
