ID plant from Dan Pearson's Chelsea Garden ...

 Had a great time at Chelsea yesterday, loved Dan Pearson's garden and all the planting - can anyone identify this plant for me (the one with the lemon flowers).

    Looks like a form of polygonatum to me.   Solomon's Seal.

    Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

    Looks like a clematis to me. 

    Where were people finding those plant lists from the Chelsea gardens

    You could well be right Nut.

    An interesting plant but I would favour the thoughts on Polygonatum.  Leaves look okay for this to me but the numerous flowers are slightly unusual.

    Uvularia grandiflora??

    Have just checked a copy of his plant list and nothing vaguely like it appears on list.

    Not uvularia whose stems are more upright and the flowers more yellow.  Lovely plant though.

    I have recently seen a small herbaceous clematis a bit like this but can't think where and yes, it does look Solomon's Sealish too.   A mystery.

    It's the stems and leaf arrangement that say clematis to me.

    I believe it's Polygonatum Betberg, a dark leaved variety of Solomon's Seal
