That is a very good picture...did you need a special lense to get that picture?
First time I'm seeing the Cymbalaria muralis. Thanks for sharing Jams! :)
6mm flower?!
Capturing this in ur lens must have been a real challenge.
Great shot!
WOW!!
What a strange shape the flowers of ivy-leaved toadflax. From some angles they look like the heads of cartoon rabbits!
What's up, Doc?
lovely shot! that little flower really stands out :D
Haha Roger. I never thought of that. THanks everyone. I used a macro lens for this shot. Even then I had to crop and resize the image slightly.
It seems to be looking right at us! What a beautiful flower. Is it related to the begonia?
Pretty flower! Happy WW :)
What a beautiful flower Jams.
happy WW!! ;) Nice shot.. (and beautiful subject too!! )
Hi Jams
I too was wondering like Sandy if it is related to the begonia ..the leaves seem so similar.
Great shot !
Thanks everyone. I don;t think it's a relative of the begonia. I could be wrong though
Ha! I saw a cartoon face in it too. Beautiful tiny flower!
nice shot! very unique! ;)
Happy WW

Beautiful colour!
I love the lavender shades. It's wonderful!

Looks like an Impressionist painting. Well done, mate.
I'm certainly learning about flowers by visiting your site. Good shot.
Very pretty, spring is coming despite the weather ;-)
beautifully sensual
Lovely 'little' plant it is too... Great colours as well!
Thanks for stopping by burntofferings and more at bernies fotoblog.

The best things come in small packages, my favourite colour too :)
Happy WW
It may be small, but it's lovely. I really like the lavendar and yellow together.
Thanks for stopping by to visit me.
That's a good shot of something so tiny - 1/4 of an inch!

wow - how beautiful!
Neat little flower!
Very nice! As usual I want to know the technical details. I just sprung for a new set of extension tubes so I can do macros.
It looks like a diamond in the rough...with 2 eyes that look like eggs...lol. Great shot. Happy WW and thanks for stopping by:)
such an interesting name! wonderful macro shot! :)
Beautiful pic!
I didn't see the face of a cartoon rabbit but I did think I saw Elsie the Cow. However, it is so wee and precious, so vivid and fragile. Lovely.
sweet pretty color and shape
This is such a great shot! I love the colors. Thanks for stopping by to see my book worms. I wish I had more time to read myself. Happy WW!
That's an absolutely fantastic picture. It must have been difficult to take!
Here is my post for today, and here is my "Where were you" game. Do you want to play?

Such a pretty little flower should have a nicer name than "toadflax..."
Sounds like a toad with dandruff or something!
~~~Blessings~~~
Beautiful flower and impressive shot.
Happy WW :)
Amazing, how something so small can have such detail.
Happy WW :)
very beautiful flower, the leaves are equally impressive too!
Happy WW!
Amazing shot of an amazingly tiny little flower. Good job Jams.
That's a tiny flower! I love the colors and textures.
It's beautiful flower.
Toadflax? Such an inelegant name for such a pretty flower! Happy WW.

Absolutely gorgeous! And so tiny.
Thanks for the visit and the wonderful comment...you made my day!
That is so pretty! And itty bitty. The leaves almost look like those of a succulent.
Lovely, Jams. Where do you find this stuff? I also just read your post on ancient trees, very interesting!
i'm just thinking, was it named after a toad? because their shape is similar.
if it is, then i would not have problems kissing toads.

Big Moment Of My Life

What a beautiful flower! Must have taken some doing to get such a clear shot of something so small and delicate. Just lovely.
Wow, that's tiny!! Great capture!
Such a fragile cute little flower!
Thank you, Jams!
Pretty flower. Ugly name.
I'm not sure why it was called toadflax. There probably was a reason
I'm sorry for my late visit. That's a lovely flower. I like the color. I think it has an interesting name.
Always gorgeous- how do you do it?
