Oenothera glazioviana

Oenothera glazioviana indeed

can it be Oenothera biennis? Germanname Nachtkerze?
Oenothera glazioviana should have some red color at the bottom of the flower, i think.
Nachtkerze (engl. evening star) opens in the evening and moths pollinate the flowers. The oil from the seeds is used against Neurodermitis,  also used a lot as Additive in Kosmetikartikels.
Roots are supposed to be edible, though i never tried it.
Normally grows on sandy places and wasteland.

I hope Oenothera glazoviana as flowers seem larger and more important stigmas much above the stamens.

A very interesting feature of the evening primrose is that just as the sun sets its flower buds open and become a fully developed flower in a few seconds. Thus one can see with the unaided eye what  can only be seen with time lapse photography for other flowers!
