What is it? - Hypericum

I've no idea, but I spotted it as I walked around the pond in the Homestead Park, York, yesterday. I thought it a very attractive bush, so here is a close-up of the area between two leaves.

Sorry for the late post, I've been visiting my mum today, so it's been a long day out.

UPDATE - Ferry ( @pyrrhula ) tells me that it if a Hypericum. I bow to his expert knowledge and thank him for telling me it's name.

yeah, I said hypericum / St John's Wort when I saw it, buds - the flowers are pretty amazing too - nice shot

[Fisher Family]

@shannejw Thank you Shanne. I would like to get more shots now the flowers have had time to open fully, although the heavy rain today will probably have left them rather battered.

@vesna0210 Thank you Vesna - I was hoping to get more photos of these flowers but poor weather has prevented me from going back.
