Inside-out Flower, as photographed by Craig Tooley.

Craig Tooley recently photographed an Inside-out Flower, a member of the Barberry Family.

 

I see there is an insect on the exquisite tiny flower! I was recently shown the foliage of this flower, and I took this photo. They are found in Redwood forests and their Scientific name is Vancouveria planipetala.

Thanks to Craig for allowing me to share his photo with you here. To see much more of Craig's nature photography, here is the link: http://www.ruffimage.com

This morning was so lovely, though there was a fog bank over the Pacific Ocean. The spring wind kicked up this afternoon, and high clouds are streaming by.
