St. John's Wort: The 140th Flower of Spring & Summer! (5 more pix below!)

St. John's Wort: The 140th Flower of Spring & Summer! (5 more pix below!)
This flower grows in bushes all over our property, including right off our back deck stairs! Its blossoms aren't much to look at unless you're close up, but through a macro lens you can see all the pretty details! As you can see below, I went crazy taking pictures! I hope you like them!

St. John's Wort should be familiar to anyone who's looked for treatment for depression, as it's famous for this use. There are over 370 species, which are found all over the world. Although cultivated for its pharmaceutical properties, St. John's Wort is also considered a weed in more than 20 countries, and is difficult to eradicate once established.

If you would like to know more about this plant, Wiki has a very nice page here: Wiki: St John's Wort
