lets take a look". Our last stop at Trestles brings us to the
Beach Evening Primrose. In the the Willow-herb family On-a-GRAY-see-ee -. It is not closely
related to a true primrose Which is in Primrose family Primulaceae. This plant is a particularly
beautiful species, blooming yellow, and fading to red throughout the day.
It is a hardy plant that can sustain high winds and it prized for it beauty and potential
medicinal value.
Contained within the seed -- at about quarter of the dry weight is Evening Primrose Oil,
This super oil consists mainly of Fatty acids about 10% of which is Gamma-Linolenic Acids
a great source for health and healing. GLA 's can be broken down by the human body
