Name the plant

A friend sent me this photo asking what is it? With the yellow flower I thought it was Creeping Jenny.

Plants or weeds? Can you name it for me?

It does indeed look like the groundcover creeping Jenny (Lysimachia) but the green form rather than the more ornamental and most used yellow form of this plant. Just a warning that this shade tolerant groundcover can become very invasive and creep into lawns and overrun flowerbeds. It is great dangling from tall pots and hanging baskets. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
