This plant is known as Sandhill St. John's Wort

Some people say Perforate St. John's Wort helps with depression

But these make me happy, such cute little flowers, 

And I'll choose viewing them over ingestion. 

(Note: This plant Hypericum tenuifolium, the alleged medicinal one is Hypericum perforatum.)

Location: St. Sebastian River Preserve State Park
