Janet Brien's photos with the keyword: Houstonia

This picture is one of my all-time favorites! To me, these flowers seem to be cut from lavender silk with filiment wires forming the pistils and a tiny bit of enamel on the tip of each one, tinted with brown. The size of each blossom is just 1/8" in diameter! I discovered this flower when creeping around in our meadow and nearly stepped on them where they were growing in the shade under our big Oak tree. I can hardly believe how beautiful these blossoms are, they don't seem real! :D I tried to find the exact flower species, but the closest I could get was possibly a Bluet in the Houstonia genus; it looks similar to a Tiny Bluet so until I find a better match, that's what I'll call it! :) I've uploaded two other pictures today and I hope you'll visit them too! Thanks to all of you who have visited and have left comments and favorites! I try to go to all of your pages within a day or two and is a highlight for me to see your beautiful photography! :) NOTE! I have finally updated my profile and I hope you'll take a look to find out a little more about me and how important all of you are to my experience here on Flickr!
