Dainty Pearl Crescent butterfly going about its business taking nectar from a Queen Ann's Lace floret.
Common and abundant.
Unidentified flower taken at Melbourne Botanical Gardens. I am not sure whether these filamentous structures are stamens or actually tiny florets. Perhaps someone will know.

Peaceful Saturday
Cerastium
Tiniest florets in the garden, growing out of a little wall about a foot high on the patio. I think some varieties of Cerastium are larger than this one, but this is tiny. We have a couple of varieties of Saxifrage that have very small florets, but they are a bit bigger than these I think.

"The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it, because it's only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles, wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on".

Black-eyed Susan is an upright annual, sometimes biennial (flowering a second year and then dying) native to most of North America, and is one of a number of plants with the common name Black-eyed Susan that also has purple on the side. It has the typical daisylike flowerheads consisting of an outer ring of ray florets and a central conical head composed of many disk florets.
Skirret's florets are aromatic but I don't know what they taste like. Its roots - which I've not eaten yet - are said to compare to delicious salsify, one of my many favorite vegetables. Apparently the little flowers are sweet enough to attract a variety of insects among which this delicate female fruit or gall fly, Terellia tussilaginis. It's about 5 mm long so the individual flowers are about half that in diameter.
Gerbera L. is a genus of plants in the Asteraceae (daisy family). Gerbera is native to tropical regions of South America, Africa and Asia. Gerbera species bear a large capitulum with striking, two-lipped ray florets in yellow, orange, white, pink or red colours. The capitulum, which has the appearance of a single flower, is actually composed of hundreds of individual flowers. The morphology of the flowers varies depending on their position in the capitulum. The flower heads can be as small as 7 cm (Gerbera mini 'Harley') in diameter or up to 12 cm (Gerbera ‘Golden Serena’). Gerbera is very popular and widely used as a decorative garden plant or as cut flowers. 10337

Painted Lady butterfly taking nectar from a Dogbane floret.
Can be common. Not particularly abundant.
I love to get close up to the structure of flowers with macro photography and discovered this about the sunflower. Each petal on the outside of a sunflower is a flower and is called a Ray floret. This inner part are the Disc florets which are the flowers tightly clustered together inside the ray florets. After pollination these are the flowers that will produce the seeds. It was fascinating to see the complex structure of the inner part of the sunflower close up and to watch as the tiny flowers unfurled.

Mimic of the Monarch butterfly. Common during mid-Summer.

May not be the most spectacular orchid being a wild form however it does have a heavenly perfume that appeals to Humans and insects. Tiny baby assassins' bug waiting for ants pollinating the orchid.

in a container in my garden. I do love this colour - I have two containers with hydrangeas, the other flowers are pink. I've no idea why this should be, just 'luck' I expect 😃 !
Slightly edited in Topaz Studio.
Thank you for your visit - I hope you like my macro.
Enjoy what's left of our summer !
Cabbage White butterflies flutter by and never stop for long on any flower. Sipping from tiny Forget-me-not florets is done in a flash.
a different way of photographing Honeysuckle, this time when the blossoms are tightly closed and create a sunny look to the flower.
Centaurea montana, (commonly know as perennial cornflower, mountain cornflower, bachelor's button, montane knapweed or mountain bluet) growing well in the garden at home. Distinguished from other Centaurea species by its usually entire leaves, and the blue-purple colour of the outermost ray florets.
