This geoart is in honor of my mother, formerly known as the flower lady of Portville. The cache names are just some of the varieties she has in her gardens. Read the description below to find the information needed to get the final coordinates of the cache.
Hypericum perforatum, St. John’s Wort, is an upright perennial with showy, star-shaped, yellow flowers, 1 in. wide (2.5 cm), from early to late summer. Borne in pyramidal clusters, they are produced in great numbers, up to 25 – 100 per stem. Each flower presents 5 petals, peppered with black dots around the edge and a prominent tuft of yellow tipped stamens. The stalk-less, oblong or linear, pale green leaves display scattered translucent dots that make the leaf look perforated when held up to the light – hence the common name. Hypericum plants have been used for centuries as herbal treatments for a variety of medical problems including externally for wounds, inflammations, burns, skin disorders, and nerve pain and internally for anxiety, depression and insomnia. The active ingredient in the leaves and flowers is hypercin.
