A Trio of Tiny Beauties: Nutall's Toothwort Blossoms
[best appreciated at full size against black]
I have always loved tiny flowers because most people don't even see them, and as a child, it delighted me that I could make a beautiful bouquet out of itty-bitty flowers, and if you looked closely, each little flower was every bit as gorgeous as a big flower that people do notice. This is why I see these flowers so easily! I'm drawn to them, and I have always made a point to show them to anyone that will stop and look. I'm that person who will stop at a crack in the sidewalk, bend down, and spend a long moment to appreciate the tiny flower growing there. They're amazing and because of my macro lens and awesome camera, I can share each of my tiny treasures with all of you! :)
This is a the stunning Nutall's Toothwort, a flower which measures just 1/4" in diameter. When I found this species in bud and posted it as the 11th Flower of Spring, I didn't know its name. I have since discovered what this flower is called, and now I can tell you a little bit more about it! :)
Nuthall's Toothwort is an early spring perennial herb that is native to western North America from British Columbia to California. It can be found in moist environments and is one of four species in the Cardamine genus, all of which grow throughout North America. They are edible, though not well-known in this regard.
If you would like to know more about this flower, Wiki has a page here: Wiki: Nuttall's Toothwort (Cardamine nuttallii)
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!
