* Microscopic Flowers *

Okay, so these little flowers are not really microscopic, as the term might apply. But they were extremely tiny and barely noticeable until you get right down to the ground. The actual blossoms themselves could not have been no larger than about a millimeter, with the rest of the plant looking almost like some kind of moss growing across the ground.
As you can compare in this picture, notice the grains of sand in the background. 

Now, finding out the actual name of these flowers may be a little difficult as these are some more of those tiny little plants that most people just overlook and ignore.

After sending this out to my email group I was informed that these are called "iddy-biddy-fleurs". 
However, for some strange reason, I'm sure that's totally accurate.
