are these Sundrops?

16 years ago

They are blooming on the side of the road in April in North Florida.

They look like Oenothera fruticosa to me, but I am not sure.

Some type of Hypericum, I believe.

How about Hypericum fasciculatum?

It looks like it could be a Hypericum species. When I googled H. fasciculatum, the photos showed long and narrow leaves. These leaves are shorter and sort of club shaped, almost like those of a Purslane.

I added a leaf photo at the bottom of the photos.

Carol23, that species has leaves that look similar to those in my photos. Thanks!

I am going to post some more leaf photos this weekend.
