    I was looking for a good bike route back from Davis Square, and ended up poking around where the paved part of the bike trail ends. There's a lot of nice stuff there, so I should visit there again sometime when I've got time to dally.

The evening primrose is something I saw on my way to dinner a few days ago; when I last visited it in daylight, it wasn't open yet, and I was reluctant to play with a camera there after dark. Then today I ended up walking past there with enough friends to not fear getting mugged.

Asiatic Dayflower, Commelina communis  Sm    Med    Lg  
Description : This flower is familiar from childhood, but I didn't know what it was called until I looked it up a few days ago. Continuing to see spiderwort all over the place, then noticing some of this by a road side brought it to mind.

I had to view the picture at full size before I could see that the lower petal is indeed white.
