Brian's Quiz Question

[shelagh]

In some of the AGS Show Schedules there is a class for 'a native British plant'. With this in mind Brian potted up this plant last year but so far there hasn't been one of these classes when the flower has been in flower. He wondered how many of the forumists recognised it. (He also asked me to mention that it is beginning to go over.)

In that case, and as I'm from abroad, I won't spoil it too.I'll let you know by pm.
I curious how many people know this plant, though it's very obvious (for me) what genus it is.

You mean this British native being very native in my little patch

[Maggi Young]

Do you know, though I may seek it here and seek it there, I have never seen this flower in the wild 

[Maggi Young]

My goodness, I just discovered that the name of this plant was never actually posted here...... so sorry for that! It is sometimes known as the creeping loosestrife, it is Lysimachia nemorum - Yellow Pimpernel.

[mark smyth]

I knew that and forgot to post it. I havent seen the red or yellow for a very long time

It's new to me but it's lovely.
Here's another yellow pimpernel.

This is not a native. It is a very exotic thing that NEVER occurs in Sweden.
I once posted a flower of Solanum tuberosum.
Maggie recognized it.

 Goodness, just goes to show why we should stick to the latin names.... Helen's yellow pimpernel isn't even in the same family..... Lysimachia nemorum is in Primulaceae and the Taenidia integerrima   is in the Apiaceae
