viridis
- On May 7, 2009, this image placed in the top ten of the Flowers challenge in the Retired and Happy group.
This tiny white bloom was one of several that appeared in my garden this year. Nestled among common blue flax, I almost did not see it. Yes, I was belly down to get this shot and was so surprised to see that the back side of the petals are green! Since I have no name for this unexpected little beauty, I chose viridis as the title which is the Latin word for green.

Those belly shots can be really revealing, and the back of a bloom can be equally appealing. This one is a beautiful closeup; back and front are so delicate.
