Canadian St. John's Wort (Hypericum canadense) in August at Wellington State Park in New Hampshire

At roadside near the boat launch is Canadian St. John's Wort (Hypericum canadense). It is also called Lesser St. John's Wort because the flower is so small (1/2 inch in diameter). I think the pointy red fruit encased in the spent-flower sepals is neat, too.
