That is a very good picture...did you need a special lense to get that picture?
ReplyDeleteFirst time I'm seeing the Cymbalaria muralis. Thanks for sharing Jams! :)
ReplyDelete6mm flower?!
ReplyDeleteCapturing this in ur lens must have been a real challenge.
Great shot!
WOW!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a strange shape the flowers of ivy-leaved toadflax. From some angles they look like the heads of cartoon rabbits!
ReplyDeleteWhat's up, Doc?
lovely shot! that little flower really stands out :D
ReplyDeleteHaha 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.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to be looking right at us! What a beautiful flower. Is it related to the begonia?
ReplyDeletePretty flower! Happy WW :)

ReplyDeleteI too was wondering like Sandy if it is related to the begonia ..the leaves seem so similar.

Such a pretty little flower should have a nicer name than "toadflax..."
ReplyDeleteSounds like a toad with dandruff or something!
~~~Blessings~~~
Beautiful flower and impressive shot.

ReplyDeleteLovely, Jams. Where do you find this stuff? I also just read your post on ancient trees, very interesting!
ReplyDeletei'm just thinking, was it named after a toad? because their shape is similar.
ReplyDeleteif it is, then i would not have problems kissing toads.
