Do you know what this flowering plant is?
(Clue - I acquired it to add to my minigarden.)
Answer tomorrow.

I do like macro pics of flowers. They reveal so much more than pics of whole plants some times.
This plant is Azorella patagonica, a member of the Apiaceae from Argentina.
The pic shows it in my minigarden - a perfect small foliage/cushion plant but with really interesting flowers.

You had me fooled there, Johnny. Not like the Azorellas more often seen in our gardens. That's a rather neat addition to a mini-garden listing.

Where did you find such a large penny!!!!

As much as I like small flowers Ledebouria socialis is about my limit. That is really impressive growing!
