    Not sure but flowers look like asphodel?

    Thanks, googled asphodel but don’t think it’s that.

    Not asphodel.  The leaves are wrong anyway and it's a spring plant here, flwoering about the same time as bluebells and especially in roadside ditches and banks before the tree canopy gets too thick.

    Reminds me of Anthericum liliago, the St Bernard's lily

    Someone was asking about a similar looking plant earlier this summer and Lysimachia Ephemerum was suggested.

    I think @Borderline is right. I saved the page from Chilterns Seeds because I fancied getting it

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Hmmm ... might be just what I need for the sunnier bed, if it can cope with 'well drained'  :)

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Lysimachia ephemerum  looks good.

    Not a plant I have ever grown or seen, except on here.

    Thanks all, Lysimachia ephemerum looks like the main contender so far! Closest we’d got was St bernards lily but flower wasn’t quite right.
