I found another plant that has tiny flowers on it. But….. to top off the tiny flowers, the leaves are pink as well. And to top that off….. these “flowers” are weirder than those other tiny flowers.
See that little round flower just above my thumb? Well, that isn’t the flower. Those are specialized leaves. You have to take a closer look to see the flowers.
See the little yellow flower in the middle of the leaf? That isn’t the flower either.
That is called a “cyathium”, or “false flower”. The yellow “petals” are also modified leaves. The flowers are the even tinier things in the middle of the cyathium. They are blurry in the photo because of my cheap camera and lousy photography skills. The flowers themselves are not blurry.
Here is the name of the plant to look for if you are interested.
