    Hello everyone,

    Have been enjoying my new home and seeing whats coming up. The gardens had not been maintained in the last few years, so I've been having fun dividing whats here and sharing with friends and creating new spaces.

    Can someone help identify the yellow flowers? I'll transplant/share if they aren't overly invasive. They are in embankment which is overrun by vinca minor and virginia creeper - I'm considering ripping the whole thing up as there is a small rock wall under that overgrowth.

    Thanks in advance!

    I'd say Evening Primrose as well - in which case, IMHO, they're a friend. The smell in the evening is intoxicating.

    Thanks so much. That's exactly it, and they are keepers!
