Blueberry Flower

Inspired by Alex's blueberry berries, here's a blueberry flower (Vaccinium myrtillus).

I went to the forest, thinking it's perfectly easy to photograph some blueberries - I mean, they're everywhere! Then I realised that's precisely the problem - they're *everywhere*! Eventually, I found one that was living on the edge, and got this.

Around here, blueberries are the cause of great interest every summer and autumn: Did their flowers freeze? Did they get enough water? Did they get too much water? Did the neighbour get there first and pick them all? Do I have a squashed berry in my shoe again? And yet, I doubt anyone really stops and really looks at the plant. I find the modest little flower very beautiful.

Thank you for looking.
