We had a thunderstorm last night and, this morning, the peaches of tiny plants in the dry brown soil were putting out blossoms. They are Dwarf Mallow (Malva pusilla).

The Dwarf Garden features a number of misshapen creatures made of white Untersberg marble and dates back to the time of Archbishop Franz Anton Harrach.
It is said that some of the models for the gnomes were real people, living at the court under the reign of Prince Archbishop Franz Anton Harrach in 1715.

The Zwerglgarten, or “Dwarf Garden,” in Salzburg, Austria was created in 1715 by Prince Archbishop Franz Anton Harrach. Many of these creepy dwarf statues were modeled after dwarves who lived in the court and served as entertainers to the archbishop. The rest were inspired by peasants and foreigners.

Dwarf Checkerbloom (Sidalcea malviflora). Photographed at Ring Mountain Open Space Preserve, located near Mill Valley, California. There are many subspecies to this species, and I'm not sure which one I have here, but it is quite small. (My thumb and forefinger appear in the lower left corner, holding the flower stem.) I was fascinated by the pinwheel shape of the styles.

There more than 300 handreds of dwarfs statues in Wroclaw, Poland. They are symbol of polish anti-communist movement.
In my backyard landscaping. This plant is native to Indiana, but only known from Elkhart County, which borders Michigan. It may not even be extant in Indiana any longer. This oak has an odd distribution. Its native habitats are usually dry, and the area in Indiana where it was known is very sandy. In looking at its distribution in the USDA Plants Database, it seems to be exceedingly scattered in the upper Midwest, but is shown in many more counties to the west in Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma and in the east in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.
My yard has a high tension power line which crosses it, and the electric utility is pretty fussy about woody plants growing up toward the lines. I had two white pines that they've wanted to remove for years, and I finally let them remove the trees. Where the pines had been, I put in a small mound and planted five dwarf chinkapin oaks that I bought from a nursery in Illinois. I've also planted prairie dropseed (a grass) and New Jersey tea (a small shrub) on the mound. The oaks can be kept short through pruning, but even without pruning they shouldn't get over 8 or 10 feet tall. Right now they are just over two feet tall and have acorns!! Pretty cool, but the squirrels have found the acorns and they've pretty much eaten them all already!

Sacred Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) Dwarf variety.
This is day 2 flower, Opened up and 15cm across. Growth habit is about half of species size, but flower is full size.
See previous photo for more description info.
UPDATE: Tracy from The Lily Farm in Perth kindly gave me the correct name and description for this Lotus.
It is not a dwarf variety. It is "Mrs. Perry Slocum", a standard large flowered hybrid.
Should have known, having purchased it from a
local "accredited nursery" with a reputation for mis-naming/mis-describing plants they sell.
