Spherical Piperwort

Meet the Spherical Piperwort (Eriocaulon spp.), a marvel of micro flora found mostly in seasonal wetlands, grasslands, and high-altitude plateaus like the Western Ghats of India - a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the world's biodiversity hotspots.

 

These tiny, ball-shaped flowers stand out for their geometric precision, subtle symmetry, and almost meditative stillness. While often missed due to their size, their simplicity is breathtaking up close.
