  2. I’ve seen these flowers growing in the wild over the years…I noticed one in a planter the other day! They are a sweet little flower!

  4. Cute little flowers, I like the comment about the “belly flower”. When my girls were very little we would study “belly botany” so the comment brought forth fond memories.

  7. Lovely that you’ve featured a very little flower, Cee. I’d say it is Scarlet Pimpernel Anagallis arvensis – widespread on cultivated ground in the UK. There is a blue version. They are distinguished by the five petals. Though very similar in looks and habit to speedwells which have 4 petals. Nicely caught 🙂

  18. Small IS beautiful! ( well in flowers certainly 😉 )

    I love your macro’s 🙂

    Far be it from me to claim to be a horticultural expert but the claim that yours is a veronica of any variety seems hard to come by as they are described as having bi-laterally symmetrical four lobed corolla ( ie four petals) and your’s obviously have five?

    The flower is very similar to ones i have growing of the Oxalis family ( inc wood sorrel) but they have 3 lobed leaves and your seem to have only 1 lobe in pairs.

    That’s the best i’ve got sorry 😦

    love

      • They are also very wide-spread. I thought my pinky/purple ones were like my yellow oxalis and had 3 lobed green leaves but yesterday i found the plant with leaves like yours (no flower though to confirm) so now i’m going to have to find out what they are… i’ll keep you informed if i make progress 🙂

        love.

  21. I just got a message from my local horticultural society about those little flowers. I have them in blue, but occasionally in white or that odd almost coral color. ” Your plant is likely Veronica chamaedrys (germander speedwell), a non-native herbaceous plant that is naturalized here and there. I can’t observe all of the features necessary to make a confident identification, but the flowers are typical of this species. Best wishes.” It apparently was originally a garden plant and has just become part of the natural world. I have pictures, but I can’t figure out how one pastes one in a comment.
