It's Oenothera triloba, Stemless Evening-Primrose!!

I finally widened my search to 'wildflowers' and finally nailed it at
A Google search for 'Oenothera triloba' brings up good pictures of our night bloomer! Whew!

Oenothera berlinderi 'Siskiyou' Pink Primrose
Oenothera flava (Yellow Evening Primrose)
Onagraceae (Evening Primrose Family)

Foothills, montane. Openings, meadows. Spring, summer. Lizard Head Trail, June 19, 2004.

Oenothera flava flowers are one-and-a half to two inches across and so bright that they always catch attention.
The long pink flower tube is usually overlooked.
Flowers open late in the day and wilt to a gnarled pink mass early the next day. Oenothera flava likes moist areas and it grows there with an abundance of dark green, wavy-edged leaves.

"Flava" is Latin for "yellow".
Marcus Jones collected the first specimen of this plant in 1894 in Utah and the plant was first named Oenothera triloba variety ecristata by Aven Nelson in 1895.
It was renamed Oenothera flava in 1927 by Albert Garrett.
