I grow these in a pot & let the new growth drape down. I got it last year & it has tripled in size.
Lysimachia congestiflora, known as golden globes #loosestrife or #CreepingJenny.

Last week we were enjoying a few days of sunny, dry, hot and #summery weather. What else can you do but sit lazily in the #shade of a big tree?

This is a really spectacular group of flowers which are at one of the entrances to the woodland. What a welcome from these flowers. I was convinced that they must have been a garden escapee but the more I investigated the more they looked like Yellow Loosestrife, which is a native plant. I was able to photograph these on a bright sunny day.

"[The #Botanist should] keep up the old names as well as the new.

We must always have our #SweetWilliam, #Kingcup, #SweetCicely, #Loosestrife, #Heartsease, Codlins-and-Creams, & #Feverfew.

All [these] #Names [have] #Stories. [Their] loss would be a loss to the #Language; their very mention turns thoughts to #Gardens & the pasture #Lands of #Summer gone but come again."
