pereõhtute

Pereõhtute, also known as evening primroses, are a genus of flowering plants in the family Onagraceae, native to North America and Asia. The genus includes about 15 species, with the most well-known being Oenothera biennis, commonly known as the common evening primrose. These plants are herbaceous perennials, typically growing to a height of 30-60 cm, with simple, alternate leaves and showy, fragrant flowers that open in the evening and close during the day.

The flowers of pereõhtute are typically pink, red, or white, with five petals and a yellow center. They are pollinated by night-flying moths, which are attracted to the flowers' scent and nectar. The plants produce seeds that are dispersed by wind, water, or animals.

Pereõhtute are popular in gardens and landscaping due to their attractive flowers and ability to thrive in a variety of soil types and conditions. They are also used in herbal medicine and traditional Chinese medicine for their supposed health benefits, although scientific evidence supporting these claims is limited.

The genus name Oenothera is derived from the Greek words "oinos" meaning wine and "theros" meaning bearer, referring to the flowers' wine-like scent. The species name biennis indicates that the plant completes its life cycle in two growing seasons.
