Lovely yellow Plant

given this plant last year cannot recall its name

 

Do you have a larger photo? From what little I can make out I'm tempted to say Mimulus, possibly M.luteus. Is it growing near water?

 

See if this comes any bigger

 

Its in a planter, with some dead looking ivy I transplanted.

 

That's better!
Deffo one of the Mimulus family IMO.

 

If I am correct, it likes lots of moisture.

 

Thanks Longk will have to give it some thought about moving it , nowhere in my garden is paticularly moist. It seems happy enough for now.

 

I used to grow M.cardinalis at my old house................


It was tolerant of wet or dry, and would self seed freely....................
