Lysmachia candela.

So pretty and dainty lovely and white too is that a blue bottle I spy?

Very nice. Not seen one this colour before. I have two, one which Spritz kindly sent me which is Lysimachia Stratum and one which has variagated foliage which I don't know the name of. The flowers of both are yellow.

Almost Morgana a greenbottle ..these flowers grow in spikes Toto from the leave stem and seem more compact than purple or yellow loose strife .

Thought the fly would give an idea of flower size which seems smaller .

Loosestrife?

Nice photo Bonkers.....

Nice photo BB

Sorry Toto - the common name for Lysmachia ..except the ground cover which is creeping jenny beginning to understand why latin names make more sense even though prefer the commom touch lol

Thanks Milky .. you know you really quite nice for someone who lives in Essex .

Thanks Clarice x ..I know what youre thinking why the kiss to Clarice ? She liked my pics when had a cheap camera ..lol

Toto is creeping to Sandra lol on your blog so that plant will suit him ha ha ,Milky s called him a tart he he he

Really lovely.

These are lovely. They are dainty.

Morgana, I creep to all delectible females and Sandra is beautifdul. I hadn't noticed that Milky had called me a tart but if she did she is probably right. I love all you ladies.

Does your better half approve or does she lock you up lol

Better half? My nurse locks me up.
Didn't know that Bonkers, thanks for the info.

lol what does she lock you up in. he he

I don't know what's prettier..., the flower or the fly...! They both caught my eye...lol

As Toto would say they both pale in comparrison to you ..he he but he so much smoother than me when comes to chat lol

I don't know about that...! I'm blushing as I type...., Hope I never get too old for flattery...lol. You two keep me on my toes...;-)

Love this one BB havent seen it around, must have a look at the garden centre, as white is my favourite flower colour .

Mine too PP think would be happy with just green and white in garden esp as our garden so shady seems to look t its best in the evenings .

These send out small flower spikes unlike the other yellow and purple varieties that seem to flower up the stem and can get a little invasive.

If you have no joy happy to send one ..

Thanks BB would love to take you up on your kind offer if there are none in our local garden centre, will Pm you with my address. Cheers!

Please do as happy to help x Hark at me PP you obviously caught me on a good night .. make the most of it lol

I will. I will xx

Two in one, here, BB - the beetle and the flower. Lovely.

This is really lovely. We have loads of the yellow loosestrife, which is a bit of a thug and has compacted tough roots so a pig to remove when it oversteps the mark. This white one is gorgeous and sounds much more controllable. I've never seen one anywhere, so thanks for showing the photo...I shall look out for it, now!

A really lovely photo.BB

Hi BB ~
If you have any seedlings of this I would be delighted to have one please...
I'm still working on your Clematis Armandii...Lol. I could write a blog on my attempts... Lol. Even have photos of where a frog took up residence in one of the pots, knowing it might be shipped to near your pond...Lol.

Jane trying to root some cuttings TT for early next year which probably a bit speedier than seedlings ..so fingers crossed .Thanks for Clematis up date was always likely to take a while and so pleased that frogs love it ..

Could be a race as to who makes cuttings first.... Janey with the Lysmachia, or me with the Armandii...... my money is on Janey, but the frogs are hoping otherwise.... they heard the pond facilities in Yorkshire are especially luxurious...

Well we do have the advantage of soft cuttings ..my week end will be in the pond everything spread so much .Really needs a good clear some friends gave us what they called water buttercup I suspect it actually spearwort and grown like a Triffid ..

OMG.... I can feel your water buttercup blog coming on from here...:o(
