Lonicera Lemon Beauty and Lysimachia minoricensis (I've just posted a question about the second one)
Comments on this photo
The Lemon beauty sounds nice Gill , I don't know very much about the other one except that they can become invasive .........

I have the usual Lonicera, TT, but liked the idea of something a little different.
I was worried about it being invasive, Amy, I wouldn't want it to take over the garden.
Thanks, Sheilar.

I have just googled it and came up with this web site. Apparently it is extinct in the wild and is on an endangered species list so look after it well. http://www.iucnredlist.org/apps/redlist/details/61670/0. I like foliage with some added interest and this certainly has that.

I read that, Scotsgran, and that's what made me post the question. I will plant it out and wait and see what happens. There's always something new and interesting about gardening, isn't there?

In the above link research seems to indicate that it might be a biennial. Scroll down to Results and Reproductive features. Its fascinating. I guess that is why we are all so alive. There is always something to learn, keeps us going.

Very interesting, Scotsgran. I will just have to wait and see what my little plant does :)
