St John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum) infusing in organic safflower oil

We get very few days away at a time from the garden, especially when there hasn’t been any rain and when it drops to 11C at night we need to close the greenhouse at night.  We were lucky enough to go to one of my favorite areas and this time stay over a night with good friends on the Baltic coast at Strömsborg.  This is a wonderful place for me to collect St. John’s Wort and get a little sunburn.  On a small island I collected enough flowers for a 1,8 liter jar.  So wonderful, warming and thrilling to see the red begin infusing immediately.  I love this healing oil, so multi purpose.
