This is cutleaf evening primrose I found on a roadside while walking.

| The pale yellow is so pretty 小待宵草 薄黄色が可憐 |
The pale yellow, which makes it look so fragile, stopped me, but the flower fades orange, pink, or red with age according to Wikipedia, so I decided to observe this pretty flower until I would see the color fading. And then a week later, I found the orange and pale red ones below.
It seems to have eight petals, but actually four heart-shaped petals.
In Japan, cutleaf evening primrose is called "small flower waiting for evening," a pretty and similar name to the English one.

小待宵草（コマツヨイグサ）です。花弁が８枚に見えますが、ハート形が４枚です。
名前もさることながら、薄黄色が素敵です。でも萎れると赤くなってしまうとのこと。それで見つけたのが３枚目と４枚目。オレンジや赤になってしまうと、もうコマツヨイグサとは分からないですね｡
ちなみに英語では「cutleaf evening primrose（葉っぱに切れ込みがある夕暮れプリムローズ）」。「小待宵草」と何となく似てませんか？
