miniature vibrance

Found this tiny wild flower in the garden. So tiny that's it was almost invisible despite the vibrant colours - only noticed it as I was lying on the ground looking at other flowers with a lens and extension tube setup. This whole flower, not quite fully open, is no more than 4-5mm across.

 

I really prefer shooting subjects in their natural environment in ambient light but it was too breezy to get a decent shot so I bought one inside and used a flash...

 

After some research it seems this is called Common Storksbill, a type of wild dwarf geranium.
