ST JOHN'S WORT

There are many species of Hypericum, St John's Wort.  (Remember 'wort' is pronounced to rhyme with 'Hurt' or 'Bert', not 'wart').  This one is the Perforate St John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum).


Each flower has five petals arranged like a golden star and the leaves are smooth-edged, not raggedy like the ragwort which flowers at the same time.
