Orange Evening Primrose?

[lotty]

Hi Everyone. This Is My First Message On This Forum Hope Someone Can Help. I Have Found A Plant On My Allotment Which I Took To Be An Orange Evening Primrose. Its Exactly The Same As The Normal Yellow Ones I Have On The Plot But The Flowers Are Almost Red. I Have Tried To Find This Variation In All My Books But Only Came Up With Blue White Or The Common Yellow. Has Anyone Else Come Across This Variety? Thankyou

Some Evening-primroses turn from yellow to orange as the flowers go over e.g. Fragrant Evening-primrose (Oenothera stricta). Also some exotic species with orange flowers are grown in gardens e.g. Oenothera versicolor

It could be the variety "Sunset Boulevard" If you do a search on Google you can see it has orange flowers.
