Perfection in miniature

This beautiful flower is less than quarter of an inch across! Walking past the shrub/tree, I'm sure that most people never even stop to look at the clusters of several tiny flowers. Unfortunately, I couldn't see a sign giving the name of this tropical, flowering shrub - photographed at the Calgary Zoo. Thanks to Forest & Kim for the ID, Jatropha gossypifolia! It's in the Euphorbiaceae family.

Jim (Garnite), just popped over to the group created for you to check on the latest news. I don't have an eagle or a bee image for you, but thought this very tiny flower might send some healing vibes your way : )

Was anyone else one of the"lucky" ones to be chosen to legally have to fill out a long Census survey online? They wanted to know everything! Took me just under half an hour to complete and I was wishing I hadn't started it at 11:00 p.m. last night, in between working on all the documentation that is needed for Customs and the shipping of 12 boxes of items that belonged to my parents and my brother in England. Would never have known what to do about all the shipping details, without all the help from my friends over there : )

It seems that Flickr is acting up this morning!
