Primroses in Black Mountain, NC

Tomahawk Lake in Black Mountain - There is a beautiful park in Black Mountain. And around the lake is a walking path. And at one point is a garden about 20 ft X 6ft. Dr. John Wilson, 90 years young, has planted primroses for the last 35 years or so.
This is a picture of the primroses before any of the blooms/flowers appear. The time is about 830PM.

This is a flower which has opened up.
This is a flower which is just starting to open. Sometimes it takes about 20 minutes of watching to see one flower to fully open. This is truly one of God's miracles.
It is now about 900PM. Many of the flowers have opened.
This is about 915PM. Tonight 198 flowers opened up. Each morning Dr Wilson removes the flowers and counts them. On May 2 only 1 flower opened up. In mid June a total of 500 flowers opened. About 30 people were watching the show on this Wednesday night. Annie Roper is a friend of the Wilsons. When in Black Mountain, go to the primrose show. It is quite a show.
