ST. JOHN'S WORT VS. WOOD GROUNDSEL

ST. JOHN'S WORT FLOWER







Another plant causing some confusion is St. John's Wort & Wood Groundsel (aka Tansy Ragwort).


The St. John's Wort is pretty much past its blooming stage, its leaves are small & pointed.


The Wood Groundsel has larger blooms, it is a bigger plant, and its leaves are different.


Please be absolutely sure of what you are picking, especially if you are making a tincture & taking it internally. If you are taking my class it is probably best to just pick the plants during class.
