TINIEST FLOWER IN MY GARDEN ~ HAPPY MACRO MONDAY

This tiny blue flower is about 1mm to 1.5 mm across....about the same size as the "o" in God on our U.S. penny!  Suffice it to say, it's not in any of the wildflower guide books. LOL The entire plant grows to about 2 inches tall in between stones in my rock pathways.
To see even bigger macros (was that an .....oxymoron?), visit Lisa at http://lisaschaos.com/. Thanks, Lisa, for hosting and getting that Linky back and running.
 Even my macro settings had a difficult time getting this to show up. It's REALLY tiny.

  1. Now you've got me wondering what plant that is..
    So small.If I had to choose, I would say a type of myosotis - forget-me-not.

  4. It's sooooo tiny. I wonder what colour the blossom is! Colour and shape often help in identifying plants, I find.
