Please identify this plant

PlantNet says Loosestrife.

Yes, yellow loosestrife. It's a wild flower, which is perhaps why you couldn't find it if you've been looking at garden flowers. It spreads, but not so much that it's a problem. There is also purple loosestrife, which I think is a different plant altogether, not just a different colour of this one

It's Lysimachia punctata, also known as Yellow Loosestrife, an old cottage garden plant. It spreads quite a bit in damp soil - in my opinion, a bit of a nuisance!

That's amazing. Thanks all. Mine has been in a corner and for the last 30 years at least has produced about five stems a year. No spread. I had better not tell it about spreading possibilities.

I’ve got it in my garden and feel quite privileged because there is a rare Yellow Loosestrife Bee that lives mostly on oils that this plant produces.

I think a bit differently and would hazard a guess at yellow rod many slightly different plants in the genus

I'm another one voting for Yellow Loosestrife. Had it in my last larger garden. Bees, etc seemed to love it and it gave a vibrant splash of colour.

Yellow loosestrife is an invasive species here, and quite common. I think of it as a ditch plant, seen roadside and wouldn't think to plant it in the garden!

When you stop and look, it is actually quite pretty.

This made an appearance in my garden.
I left alone as I appreciated the yellow splash of colour .
It has since died off .
It's in the sane family as the Primrose and has some medicinal use in the right hands .

I love PlantNet - use it all the time taking photos of plants I like as I wander round then identifying them when I get home!

Yes, Lysimachia, or Loosestrife. I admired it in the garden of one of DD’s neighbours so he gave me a clump and it has taken off. It has thuggish intentions but it’s so handsome and makes a lovely splash of colour, that I’m prepared to put up with it.

Do you have Google Lens - free to download if you don't.

Just open app, point at plant , piece of china, painting, shirt (almost anything) & VOILA - correctly indentified 99% of the time

I have one large clump and one small clump in my garden and love its brightness.

The "Flora Incognita" app is pretty good as well.

Gwyllt,it’s definitely not golden rod……not time for them yet……a few more weeks

Large yellow loosestrife, not toxic to humans or pets. Would love some!!

Yes, yellow loosestrife. Had mine for must be 25 years now.

Me too. Loosestrife it is.

This looks more like 'Golden Rod' (Solidago) to me.
I had some from a friend, but it's gone...

There is also a form with variegated foliage.

The one with variegated leaves is Alexander. There is also one with coppery brown leaves and yellow flowers called Firecrackers.

It is called Solidago,
