St John’s Wort Berry cluster
Pretty yellow blooms give way to these striking red berries in summer that then remain in autumn and turn a dark blue-black in winter

Spotted near the edge of the woods in Fairwarp after a shower of rain.
Took this photo of Hypericum patulum in a friend’s garden. The shrub has dark green leaves and beautiful large yellow blooms. Apparently got it’s name from early Christians because it blooms at the time when people traditionally celebrate St. John the Baptist’s birth (24 June).
