What is the name of the tree?

This tree was taken in Koster South Africa Desember 2014
As I was on my hunt to shoot something .
I looked up and saw this flowers with sun shining on it.
I said to myself was I sleepwalking or what .It is just beautiful
I have walked past this tree so many times ,
but I have never seen this flowers .
As if it never existed . How many times have
I mist Gods gives for me because I look but I don't see.

What is the name ? Is this a weed or a herb.?

I was walking and looking for weeds to shoot
Big was my amazement when I found this lovely
big yellow flower just standing their shouting
"Take my picture."
I just could not resit it.
I was browsing the web and looking in my clever books .
What is the name ? But I am still unsure
Is this a weed or is it a evening primrose the herb?
The flower looks like evening primrose.
The leaves are more narrow and not so compact
as the primrose's .
Maybe I will find the answer and post it on the
blog.
