It is growing in front of a disused garage door on a car park. It is in in
full bloom and is quite striking. I have never seen it before during my
long lifetime.

It is about 1' x 1' and is literally covered in rich yellow trumpet like
flowers which are about half an inch long. There are about twelve flowers
in a cluster at the end of each stem and the foliage is similar to this

I have been googling with its description and I am fairly certain that it is
this one.

Quite a bit of it growing in walls round here, some nice plants in a
wall close to the traffic lights at the turn to Tesco, was just looking
at it on Saturday.

Well done Emrys,
It's lovely to have someone look for themselves and not just post a
vague description and then sit back waiting for everyone else to do the
work.

It's Corydalis lutea:

It can invade slightly, but so pretty it's worth a bit of trouble.

Funny enough one of those turned up in our front garden last year, it's
stunning this year. I've looked around and can't find it in anyone else's
garden locally.

It soon will be if you leave yours to seed! It grows like a weed in my
front garden. I brought some from my Mother's garden about 25 years
ago. She warned me it would seed around and it does. It now grows in
my next door neighbour's front garden also!
In my back garden I have a white one with white and green flowers
which I certainly never planted!

description and then sit back waiting for everyone else to do the work.

Thanks for those kind words David. My wife and I really took to this lonely
plant which was so outstanding on a rather dreary public car park and the
odd thing is that it is the first time that I have seen it during my very
long life. I have twenty of its seeds on order now from E-Bay (£1.20) so I
look forward to its development.

Many thanks everyone. I now have some of its seed on order and look forward
to having its very pleasing display.

It was a common weed one place I lived. The idea of buying it...

There are some lovely blue forms and also a creamy white one, just in
case you feel like making a collection!

Probably Corydalis ochroleuca. I grew it for a few years. It's not as
invasive as C. lutea, and its flowers are such an unusual colour
combination they are quite attractive.
