Just for somthing to do try to find out what this is. I don't know either......yet.
It's a small plant about 8"-10" high. The flower is about the size of a quarter. Picture taken today in NE Florida on the side of a dirt road and on the edge of a Hardwood swamp at about 9 ft above sea level. The ground is 2" of sand on top of blue gumbo clay. :-/

Now I say, with almost certainty.( we have some in our garden but it has never flowered)
Common or perhaps western St.-John's-wort
Hypericum perforatum
Family: St.-John's-wort
St John's wort
