Great St. John's-wort Hypericum ascyron. One of my favorites, it grows 6 feet tall or more. The flowers are about 2 inches across, while the seed head is about 3/4 of an inch across.
It is a widely distributed and variable species that occurs in Russia, Mongolia, Korea, Taiwan, China, Vietnam, Canada, as well as the United States. In North America it is mainly found in the upper Midwest - Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, also northern Illinois, Pennsylvania and Ohio. It is rare as far east as New England and Quebec, and as far south as Missouri.
Great St. John's-wort is the preferred larval host plant for a number of moth species: Eupithecia miserulata (Common Pug), Melanchra assimilis (Black Arches), Synchlora aerata (Wavy-Lined Emerald), Hyppa xylinodes (Common Hyppa), Nedra ramosula (Gray Half-Spot), and Agonopterix hyperella (Oecophorid Moth sp.).
Equipment: Canon EOS 90D, EF 100-400L II lens, extension tubes.

That's a wonderful image. What part of the plant is used for medicine?
