Identification of yellow flower that smells of honey #442917

Asked March 09, 2018, 2:31 AM EST

What’s the name of this flower? It smells absolutely amazing, sweet but not overwhelming and I’m not sure if it’s from a bush, tree or just a flower. I guessed Sg John’s Wort but I have never smelled it before.

Thank you for your question. I can't be absolutely certain from the photographs, but I believe the flowers have 5 petals each. If so, it is probably a Hypericum, which is described in this article:  http://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/PlantFinder/PlantFinderDetails.aspx?taxonid=250207

Hope this is helpful!
