Although the leaves differ a bit from some pictures I have seen, I believe this to be the Missouri Primrose-Oenothera missouriensis. It is a rare and protected plant in Tennessee. It is found in cedar glades, though this patch is near the stone wall at the Steeplechase overlook at Percy Warner Park.

H Miss Betsey. Your primrose is very pretty growing among the roadisde rocks, but I don't think it is Oenothera missouriensis, The leaf is wrong. It should be more arrow shaped and more dull green. There are quite a number of evening primroses although I haven't managed to identify it yet. maybe some kind of cutleaf.
Thanks! As soon as you can identify it , let me know what it is. This is Cedar Glade country, and it may be unique. I have never seen it anywhere but at the Steeplechase course.- Betsy
