An ancient Greek legend describes the origin of the Hyacinth. Two of the gods, Apollo and Zephyr, adored a handsome young Greek called Hyakinthos. Apollo was teaching Hyakinthos the art of throwing a discus.
Zephyr, who was the god of the west wind, was overcome with jealousy and he blew the discus back. It struck Hyakinthos on the head and killed him. From his blood grew a flower, which the sun god Apollo named after him.

Hypericum pronounced hy-PERRI-cum, has the common name of St John's Wort. The flower is a stalk of berries in shades of red, orange and brown as well as golden flowers like giant buttercups. Hypericum has increased hugely in popularity over the past five years. Then there was only one general variety of hypericum widely sold. Now there are at least six or seven named varieties available, all with different characteristics. It is a very useful and long lasting flower, that is perfect for christmas arrangements.
Native to the Himalayas and China, the plant has been cultivated in the UK since 1594 originally for its medicinal properties but now also grown commercially for its ornamental berries. Under its common name, St John's Wort, hypericum is sold as a herbal antidepressant.
