Spotted St. John's Wort distinguishes itself by its small black dots, or freckles, along its cheery yellow flower petals and green leaves.
 
     The flowers attract both short- and long-tongued bees as well as butterflies, moths, beetles and flies.  Its red fruits split open when ripe, and the leaves on mature plants turn brilliant red.
 
     Fun fact: The common name refers to St. John, a day of feasting celebrated in Medieval Europe at the time of the summer solstice
