Hypericum sp.

Whatever it is (H. prolificum?), I like it.

I suppose I should've taken a "real" photo, but playing with depth of field on the anthers was too much fun.

I like the anthers. And the ant too!

St. Johnswort. Good medicine if you're a bit depressed.

Can make birth control pills ineffective tho.

(sorry, had to be said!)

I saw these the other day too, and if it's "shrubby" then maybe Hypericum prolificum, but if its trailing no more than 12" off the ground, its H. calycinum.

Looks like you're gettin the hang of that new camera!
