Well, I proudly present to you this small great thing. My first help is the sentence "to spurn one's fortune".

This is a hard one Weber, or the photo is a bit ambiguous or unclear. Is it a Cactus sort of thing (Warme/Cold) ? (Probably ICE)

As a hint it would be nice to guide us about the size, is it a few mm, an inch or a foot we are looking at?

Admin: glacier-ice! Next help: if you look at the picture, in fact, you view a bouquet!

Naaah!! that no help at all - i noticed them before! another one pls

From a photographer point of view, I can notice very shallow Depth of Field, so the image should be a closeup / macro snapshot. So I assume it is something very small!

For me that comment is more confusing than helping !! LOL!
It reminds me of some old fairy tale where some elf spun hay into Gold!

I have not even the faintest idea on this one!

fortune=the plant, I mean: you do not recognize to ride roughshod over the lovely plant!

I am clueless on this one, probably becasue of the angle+dimension of the photo! However I would say to tackle the Family (or even Order) at this stage.

Those several awns reminds me a bit of some Poaceae members. Is it a Poaceae HC ?

Asteracea like to have spiny flowers too, but no obvious florets in this one so for the moment I cross out Asteraceae.

he he... I know it

It is Evax pygmaea, Pygmy Cudweed (English), Evaks (Maltese), Zwerg-Edelweiss (German)! I am convinced that HC Weber will be impressed!

I think you are right Jackpot, but the photo of Evax pygmaea flower should look something like this !!!

The photo by Weber was a bit away from the ordinary flower (a scan or macro of the central part only!)

Good job however jackpot
