Lovely little flower but its name sounds like something you would not want to come into contact with

Ooo we have this at work 💛🤍. I think the variety was called Hanney’s lemon drop or something like that. It’s a bit vigorous in our free draining soil, and spreads by it’s underground rhizomatous roots. But guess it’s more constrained in heavier soils.

Thanks Rich I asked if my friend knew the name but she couldn't remember, I'll ask if that's it and she may remember 👍 @richard.spicer.7906
