White Oak Studio Designs on Jul 13, 2013I don't think it is St. John's Wort. I have many SJW shrubs and they look nothing like this. My St. Johns Wort's are shrubs, get very tall if not cut back (more than 5 ft.) and bloom in August in Michigan.Helpful Reply

TJ on Jul 13, 2013The bloom reminded me of a globeflower (trollius) but the leaves don't look the same as the one I have but its still very small. Something about this is familiar but can't quite come up with anything else.Helpful Reply

Sandra on Jul 14, 2013I think it's an edible flower plant my neighbor has an orange trumpet looking one, the leaves are identical. After they are cut they only last a few hours. The flowers are used as a garnish on a food dish. My first was in CA, the laws there are anything served on a dish must be edible! The most popular are those that looks like pansies. Check out this book: Cooking with Edible Flowers: Storey Country Wisdom Bulletin A-223 By Miriam JacobsHelpful Reply

Ivylore on Jul 14, 2013Hi Mariposa, I took a look at the link and the one on the bottom does look like my plant (minus the purple leaves)! It will be interesting to see if the leaves begin to turn purple. I'll be watching! And Thanks, Sandra for your comment- I do have a nasturtium vine which is blossoming with red, yellow and orange flowers and it is definitely edible, although I haven't sampled it yet :)Helpful Reply

Jodi Schuller on Jul 15, 2013It's Hypericum. A species of St. John's Wort. Many berries are poisonous, so unless you know exactly what you have, I would not advise eating them. As a florist, we use this often in flower arrangements. The berry will change color, they are white or yellow at the beginning then change to green, red, brown or in one variety-black.Helpful Reply

Judy on Jul 15, 2013There is more than one variety of Hypericum (St John's Wort). There is Hypericum perforatum, which is the taller, shrubby plant that grows wild, is used medicinally & is also classified as a noxious weed in some areas & yours, which is Hypericum calycinum, a ground cover with larger yellow flowers. My Mother-in-law had them in front of her house for years & I still see them in yards occasionally.Helpful Reply
