Looks like alchemila molis, Ladies Mantle although could be another
alchemilla species- there are lots of them
A very accomodating plant that will grow almost anywhere
Attractive lime/yellow flowers and slightly hairy leaves which hold
drops of water like mercury after a shower.
Only problem - it can seed very freely

Alchemilla mollis. It's a very pretty, short plant which is perennial
and is good for edging borders. It's flowers seem to help intensify
the colour of others and when rain or dew collects in the leaves, it
looks like your personal cache of diamonds!
