JUNE 24

Hypericum perforatum ~ Saint John's Wort.  Fittingly named as it never fails to bloom by Saint John's day.  In Puerto Rico there will be huge bonfires by the sea.  That's the tradition.
"Vamos a la playa / Noche de San Juan / que tiembla la tierra / y retumba el mar".  Bonfires are not allowed on beaches in the US anymore, so let's just live with the memories.  Oh, and hypericum is a medicinal herb (wort means medicinal in old English or something).  It's used for depression and sadness.  Who can be depressed or sad after looking at this beauty?
