Title: Unknown plant
Post by: Bigland on June 13, 2006, 21:31:22
Hi folks,

my first post, and since I couldn't find a rehearsal forum don't be surprised if the image doesn't appear.  Can anyone help identify this plant that has flowered in the rockery of my new house in Bedfordshire, rooted in clay soil.

It looks a bit like a hypericum.

Aha!  Thanks everyone.  I was about to post this further image when jennym hit it on the spot!  But here's the image anyway (forgive the indifferent quality - I've just taken it by flash)

Thanks again
