Yellow loostrife, Lysimachia punctatum? Flowers about 3/4 inch across,
with the petals joined at the bottom so that the flower falls off in one
piece.


That's the one - thank you very much! I've never even heard of this one
before.


It's one of the plants that was in everyone's garden in the 50s and
therefore has been deeply unfashionable for the last 30 years.

Its cousin, Lysimachia nummularia will do a similar thuggish take over job!
