Hi all,
can anyone identify this plant? It certainly brightens up the river banks at this time of year.

Funny thing is wild flowers are often the hardest to grow in your garden.

Hi all,
just found out that it is in fact its Goats Rue - Galega Officianalis. Apparently its been a medicinal herb and escaped originally from garden centres, like so many other invaders. I still think it looks good though.
