Question

yellow perennial   Tom, can you ID this perennial flower? It was here when we bought this house. Vigorous. We are in zone 3-4. I can't find pictures any where online. Not lupine-like. Central stem  with flowers  attached quite close to stem. Bright yellow. June blooming. Thanks! Ellie

Answer
Hi Ellie,
Thanx for your question.  I think my sister-in-law has some of this in her front yard.  I believe it to be lysimachia punctata commonly known as yellow loosestrife.  Here is a link to a picture.
