sundrops

Yellow wildflower genus

Sundrops are North American wildflowers in the evening primrose family, bearing bright yellow cup-shaped blooms that open during the day—unlike their relatives that flower at night.

The name captures their sunny color and daytime habit: The meadow was dotted with sundrops.
