I was doing insect-flower macro-photography in the backyard and laid down to get close to the bees working the clover. As I was waiting for some bees to come closer I took some shots of the clover itself which is neat to see at this scale. This clover has some purple colors on it's flowers so I'm calling this purple clover.

Why is this tiny, colorful flower in the buttercup family called "Cursed Crowfoot"?
I was unaware that all buttercup flowers are potentially poisonous. The name of the poison is "protoamemonin". This Cursed Crowfoot member of the buttercup family is the most toxic of all buttercups. The chemical substance is released when the leaves or stems are broken or crushed, and it may cause a rash or blistering on exposed skin.
Fortunately, I have not tested the statement that it causes a rash or blistering of exposed skin. :-)
