The smallest flower I have ever seen

Post by MWP admin »

I noticed this plant (an Euphorbaciae ) which had tiny flowers (1mm) with reddish tops. Can you tell what the species is. I arrived to E. peploides from Haslam, but not sure. The other spp seems not to fit with the description.

Plant about 8cm long on arid garigue.

I think that you are right. It must be E. peploides (E. peplus ssp peploides)

Admini: In general, I hope that you keep your pics in original size- one never knows for what it could be good in the future (this is almost original translation from german) :wink:

I always do :-)

You never know who wants to publish something when spotted on the site. The climax was a french artists paid me 200Euros for a nice photo of mine of the Common borage to be used for his brouchere. ( http://www.maltawildplants.com/Promo.html )

The best money was made from one who published a photo without permission and court charged him 1,400 Euros for loyalty
:-) (I should put a copy this sentence in the copyright stuff)


And the recent one: A gentleman from Uk wanted a pic of Sea Squill to use as a memorandium for a friend who passed away. He was a doctor and used the Squill for medicinal products (Interesting :?: :!: ) I asked a humble price of 8 Pounds. He gave me anothe 8 pounds as tips!

I take photography seriously and have a BIG BIG archive. What I dont have is time! :-(

Jack, one fine holiday, you should evaluate the website and tell me what you thin about my offer :-) At the moment things are dormant, but in Spring life wakes up :-)
