These teeny wildflowers are absolutely exquisite! They grow in moist woodlands and are so small that normally a person would never notice them. Each flower stem has 3-10 tiny, greenish white flowers on it. The flower is 5-6 mm (0.197 to 0.236 inches!)across, has 4 or 5 sepals, and 5 petals that are finely divided and branched. I think they look like little snowflakes : ). They are extremely difficult to photograph because they are always found in low light, very low to the ground, and they are so SMALL!
