Here's another extremly tiny flower, just 1/4" in size, but so beautiful! I really wanted to get an angle from below so I carefully dug the plant out of the ground and held it up in the air, bracing my camera and hand on a tree trunk to hold them both steady. I know it's kind of cheating, but this is the only way I could get this angle! By the way, this is a flower I've never seen on our property before, so I'm adding it to my official set. I have about 45 other flowers that I still need to add from this past summer and fall, but I may just have to add them as I got along this year! :D I think this is a kind of Sandwort flower but I wasn't able to properly identify it in the time I had to research.

Here's another view of the flower above, isn't it a pretty little thing?! It grows at most 1/2" off the ground and likes to hide between leaves, so it was a challenge to find blossoms that were open and unobscured by leaves!
