I think that might be St John's wart. It is very pretty and delicate. I'm not sure if it will root in water or not, I hope so

It's some kind of Hypericum bush. They're really nice with their bright yellow blooms.

hello and thanks for the replies.... i googled and it looks like the H. perforatum that you IDed, is something we also have everywhere in the fields, it some sort of herb/medicinal plant - you can make tea with its flowers.
But I hope! what I have is something different. This is a plant that is much bigger in size and flower to the H.perforatum.
The flower is at least 4-5 cm in diameter. Also the bush was much taller - at least 1.5 meter.
Well, one of these days - if I don't forget - I will go to that park again and have some pics with the whole bush.
Thanks

There are a lot of species and varieties of Hypericum. The most likely is H. calycinum or possibly the one called H. Hidcote.
