This is the teeniest of flowers, and it belongs to the Saxifrage family. The stem is between 5 and 20 cm tall and the greenish white flower is 5-6 mm across. There are 4 or 5 sepals (the things that look like petals here), and the 5 petals are finely branched, giving a snowflake appearance. Grows June and July in moist woodlands. Someone out for a walk would most likely never even notice these tiny, delicate flowers, unless they knew they existed in a particular area. They are NOT the easiest of flowers to photograph - tiny, low and growing in low light! I did try, though, didn't I, Doug, LOL?! Most of the plants now only have the 5 sepals left, as the petals have withered and fallen off.
