Yellow loosestrife

A plant that… can change! 😳🌼🌿The yellow loosestrife (scientific name Lysimachia vulgaris, family Primulaceae) is a distinctive plant that thrives in damp environments. Standing at a height of up to 150 cm, it stands out among other plants typically found in cool areas due to its upright and decorative growth habit. It often forms large colonies along riverbanks and canals.During the summer, the stem is topped with a pyramidal-shaped yellow inflorescence, a decorative spike with beautiful flowers clustered at the top of the stems and branches. The flowers are scentless and do not produce nectar, but the plant is pollinated by wasps and other Hymenoptera 🐝.It is a polymorphic species, meaning it can undergo significant changes in appearance depending on the specific ecological conditions and habitat it inhabits.⁉️ Did you know? 😲The yellow loosestrife is native to the temperate regions of Europe and Asia but has also spread to North America 🌎, where it is considered an invasive plant.LIFE Programme #LIFEprogramme #LIFEproject #EUpollinators #Natura2000 #Lysimachia #loosestrife #pollinators #beesPhoto PixabayUnited Nations Biodiversity LovePlantLife Seeds Seedball ConservePlants LIFE Greenchange LIFE 4 Pollinators
