The happiness flower


How wonderful to see these joyful little flowers in the woodland once more.

St. John’s Wort is not just a pretty flower; it also has anti-depressant qualities and is often sold as a supplement for those feeling blue.  Also an expectorant, diuretic, and sedative, is there no end to this flower’s power?

Culpepper’s Herbal state ‘A tincture of the flowers in a spirit of wine, is commended against the melancholy and madness’!

I think just looking at the delicate yellow starry flowers are enough to lift the spirits.
