Hypericum perforatum (Mäkikuisma)

A common wild perennial flower, also used as decorative plant. It is some poisonous while its close relative H.maculatum is commonly used in traditional medicine. Sometimes the dose were too high and the poor patient died, and not always from the disease. H.perforatum is even more poisonous and not at all suitable as drug. Of course these two common species are difficult to distinguish. This plant grows in my garden everywhere but not just to weed and throw them off I have replanted them in one place to create a decorative small bush.
