These are tiny little flowers...I was very happy to find them last week as I searched for them last year but did not find them.

The little spider was very hyper....he would perch on one plant, then run over to the other. He was sitting on the flower on the far left when the little aphid showed up on the right. He did attack it after I took this, but apparently decided against eating it.

Excellent macro environmental image with lots of interest and a nice pop of color. Really interesting the way the colors of the flowers and spider match.

The flowers are nicely spaced through the frame and set off well against the rocky background. I especially like the little crab spider lurking in the upper right.

Such tiny flowers! I like the spacing of the group, it's an interesting macro setting Eirini.
Your image really highlights the color 'adaptive' quality of the crab spider too..
Nicely done! :toast:

I like your POV that allows including the environment and creating many interesting details to see in the large version. Nice find and well done!
