2. Gooseneck Loosestrife (Lysimachia clethroides)
This is another one that spreads like mad and that the bees and bugs love. It is not the bad loosestrife that you are not supposed to plant. Blooming in July, it has a spike of lovely white flowers on a bent stalk (like a goose’s neck).

Delightful flowers, certainly intriguing to know that there is a user friendly version of purple loosestrife seen in Most Wanted Dead Posters. Its beauty is well known but sadly it is invasive, a non-native species known as the silent killer of wetlands as it strangles native plants required by local species.
Bee Balm is lovely for tea and attracting humming birds and butterflies while the Solomon's Seal is a fond memory when spending 13 years on a 100 acre oasis known as the farm with ponds, fields and forest.
Thanks.
Thanks.
