Gosh. These look so familiar. I'm going to kick myself when they're finally IDed.

Well there are probably a few hundred different oenothera
the new to your garden one is the more wild type

The others in your garden are what I call sundrops, same family
I have pink short ones same family too

I've been following along...

Happy to see a bloom!
So many different Oenothera. Since it bloomed in one season we can rule out O. biennis as that only makes a rosette of basal leaves in the first season, flowers the second year.
