Hi! I followed you here by way of your welcome message on Blotanical. Thought I’d have a stab at naming your plant, but too late as usual (smile). Thank you for the welcome and thank you for the lovely photos and writing Liza and John.

well, better late than never %)
it popped right into my mind when i saw it this AM
- yellow loosestrife – i grew it once in my ohio days, and it
spread like mint…hard to keep in its own space!

have an intuitive botanical memory, from working
at nurseries in college, and vast reading of plant books.
pity i cant remember a phone number, anymore.
plants occupy a deeper groove in my memory tracks…

good day to you…and i hope your heart is healing!
very best regards- johanna

OK to all that answered, you are all correct. The Plant is of the Primrose Family. we believe this one to be Lysimachia punctata, garden or Yellow loosestrife. It has lots of common names.
Here are a couple of links we found while researching about this plant.
