Exciting times to be had in Black Mountain are going down to the lake to watch the Evening Blooming Primroses open at 9 PM. The blooms start to wiggle and then open quickly . People stand around the bed looking as hundreds of blooms start to unfurl and watch and wait for them to open. Dr. Wilson likes to tell the on lookers about the history of the plants and how they have a sweet scent to attract the night moth. The season of the blooms starts early June and peaks around July 4th. Dr. Wilson usually has some seeds left over from the year past to share with people and a sheet of planting instructions.
The Friends of Lake Tomahawk earned money to have a rock wall built behind the flower bed and people can sit on it to watch the flowers open.
