The Antioch Dunes evening primrose's 2- to 3-inch-wide flower has four pink or white, heart-shaped petals with yellow stamens in the middle. The plant can reach 2 ½ feet tall, and during the winter months, its stems dry and curl upward around its seed pod, creating a woody structure that looks like a birdcage.
