Found on my doorstep. The giver doesn't know what it's called, can
anyone ID it? My plan was to try and brighten a shady corner, will that
work?

Pics a bit blurry (not to be rude) but it looks a bit like Lysimachia
punctata. If it is, it likes a rich moist soil and is good in sun or a
bit of shade but doesn't like to dry out. It's useful in a bog garden or
on the edge of a pond.

Phone pics, have to pay attention... Must be the rain's fault!

That could well be it, though. Thanks Sacha.

I'll go with you on that Sacha, but here in our soggy climate it grows
in hedgerows, road verges and other partially shaded areas.
David @ a very wet end of Swansea Bay, it must have been my brief foray
into dahlia planting that has brought the rain back.

I have loads of this plant, I love it. It spreads easily, grows anywhere and
is a brilliant splash of brightness .

Ha, I got it right, but I would have just said Loosestrife!

Pretty definitely Lysimachia, Yellow Loosestrife, but I'd have said it was vulgaris not punctata. Although punctata is the more common one in gardens.
