Beautiful Face of the Tiny Redstem Storksbill

[best appreciated at full size against black]

Here's another tiny beauty that I discovered while nosing around in the meadow, looking for new flowers. This one was hiding under some grass, so I carefully exposed it so I could take its portrait for all of you to enjoy! :)

Do you remember the picture I posted of the spiral topped seed on the moss? I found out that it's a Redstem Storksbill seed!!! Isn't that cool?! :) I never expect to find that out...I have a hard enough time trying to figure out what kind of flowers I've photographed!! :D If you would like to know more about this flower, there's a nice page here: www.fireflyforest.com/flowers/1077/erodium-cicutarium-red...
