I found this Mystery Flower growing next to a fence. I had never seen one of these before. Do you know what it is?

It’s called evening primrose, a.k.a. sundrops. The flowers open in the evening (hence “evening” in the name).
Technically, this is Mystery Flower #1. I took this picture last year and came up with the “Mystery Flower” idea, but by the time I figured out what this flower was, summer was over and it no longer seemed like an appropriate post. That’s why I saved it for now. I haven’t seen any evening primrose yet this year, but it’s the right time of the year, so I’ll be on the lookout.
I saw some today in an overgrown area known to be inhabited by feral cats. Why does evening primrose insist on living in such unsavory areas?
