Evening Primrose

Where does that stuff come from?

Evening primrose oil is a beautiful plant with strong yellow flowers.
The evening primrose has earned its name because its flowers open in the early evening to attract insects for pollination.
The evening primrose is believed to be native to North America and was first recorded some 70,000 years ago.
Evening primrose seeds were brought across the ocean to Europe in 1619.
The oil is obtained by cold pressing the seeds of the plant.
