Drops on White. Isotoma sp., Hortus Botanicus, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

This very pretty ground cover, wee Isotoma - labeled as 'fluviatilis' - is of the purest white. It hails from the banks of running waters in Australia and New Zealand but is quite at home in the sprayed damp of the Glass House of the Hortus in Amsterdam.

It's about 1.2 cm from side to side, so the corolla's chasm measures a mere several mm across. So marvellously intricate!
