Dwarf Lousewort (Pedicularis semibarbata). Crane Flat area. Yosemite National Park. Mariposa Co., Calif.
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.
I converted the Hammerers from the plastic Dwarf Warriors set. I wanted the Lord's shieldbearers to match the hammerers and also fit well into the front rank so I built them all together.
The hammers are from the older dwarf warriors set, with gems added for a more royal feel appropriate to the Lord's bodyguard.

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!
Pinus mugo 'Wintersonne' (Yamina Nursery, Australia) Photo: F.D.Richards, SE Michigan, 3/2021 - Dwarf Winter Sun Mugo Pine, PYE-nus MYOO-go, Size at 10 years: 2x4’, yellow, aka Winter Sun., USDA Hardiness Zone 2, In Garden Bed F4,03 for 13 MONTHS (Stanley). Planted in 2020.
Stanley & Sons: A yellow variety in Winter of Mugo Pine. Plant grows about 2-4 inches a year.
Iseli Nursery: Winter Sun Mugo Pine. With the cool temperatures of autumn, this extremely hardy, compact mugo pine becomes an electric yellow color that persists through the cold season. Great for containers, the rock garden – or any landscape space that needs a little spark of color during the dreary winter months. Pinus mugo ‘Wintersonne’ loves full sun, well-drained soil, and responds well to spring candle pruning if a more compact form is desired.
American Conifer Society: This cultivar originated as a seedling selected in the late 1980s by Yamina Rare Plant Nursery, Monbulk, Victoria, Australia. In Europe, this conifer is often marketed on the German commercial name, Wintersonne™.

The photographs in my set, "Weed Flower Micros," may appear to be close-ups of regular-sized flowers – they are not!
These are micro (macro) photos of tiny little flowers which bloom on ordinary weeds found in my lawn.
How tiny? The largest weed flower in the set is only, when measured across its widest part from petal tip to petal tip, 3/4" in diameter (19mm)!
Some of these miniscule flowers are so small that the entire blossom you are looking at is 1/4" in diameter (6mm)…or smaller! Again, that’s measuring from petal tip to petal tip across the widest part of the bloom!
The smallest part of a weed flower that I have managed to successfully shoot and achieve good detail in is a photo I made of a bud that measured LESS than 1/32" in diameter (0.7mm) across its widest part!
For size references I have included a photo of certain flowers and buds next to the head of an ordinary paper match, which dwarfs the blooms and buds.
It’s delightful to discover the beauty, complexity, and variety in something so small that it’s easily ignored, taken for granted, dismissed as a pest, or just downright difficult to see with the naked eye.
And it’s an even greater delight to realize that this incredible beauty has been growing wild in my lawn, year after year, right under my un-seeing eyes as I’ve repeatedly mown them down with my lawn mower, never realizing the unseen beauty that I was trampling under my feet.
I hope you enjoy viewing these as much as I do. I have a lot of fun making them for us to look at!

This little flower is only about 4 inches from the ground. So different from the huge columbine that I have elsewhere!

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.

Testing my Sony NEX-5N in bright sun at the Colorado Springs Flea Market. There was no way to use manual focus lenses as I couldn't see the view screen. So I put a PL on front and shot everything with the 18-55 AF lens - just guessing really - and hoping that the AF would do the rest.

Found at high elevations. It's the much more common Fireweed stripped down to the bare essentials -- 4" high instead of 4'. The individual flowers are the same size, but there are only a few per plant. Here's www.flickr.com/photos/anitagould/19555601/in/set-152635/ a landscape shot with these flowers.
Formerly known as Epilobium latifolium, now reclassified as Chamerion.
Cute little flower, about the size of a dime.

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.
