Hypericum

It reminds me of St. John's Wort. I wonder if it's related.

It's still a lovely plant,Klahanie..although my neighbour has this growing between our houses,so I have to keep trimming it back on my side,as the flowers are the devil for staining our path when they fall,and it rains ! His side is yellow..my side stays just green these days :o)

Paul,It is also known as St John's wort...

Thanks Sandra: I know it's used extensively to treat depression, anxiety & ADHD. I just think it's a nice plant.

It is a lovely plant Paul..in the right place.:o) and yes,it is a very good natural antidepressant,I believe...I used to have a smaller variety of Hypericum,called "Elstead" ,where the berries went through various colour changes to almost black,but it suffered badly from rust,so it had to go..such a shame...

Thank you Bathgate and Bloomer.

I have this too and it self seeds here , I like it too, this year I've spotted a seedling with a variegated leaf and was going to try and dig it up and grow it on seevif it keeps the variegation typically its roots are under a wall mmmmm.

I haven't seen the variegated variety Simbad. Interesting.

I've never seen any look so good in California. LOL! I don't even see them here in San Diego.

Come to see mine....I have thousands.

Wow! Thousands? That's great! It's too dry and hot here for them.

I think they like it dry Delonix1. They grow in very dry shady Douglas fir forest. We usually do not have any rain in summer. I snapped a picture for you from our deck.
