great shot Jac, and yes i agree it is St Johns Wort AKA Hypericum...yes there are some varieties that get this big, but i think you need more than one bush to get the lovely berries... they are used all the time in floristy... and i am not sure which part of the plant used, but they have healing properties for depression....very good if you have hormone inballence...apprently!
