Hm, may be a trillium (Walt, your opinion, please?) but the ID site I use says it could also be a spiderwort, none of the suggestions it gave me had high confidence (and none were trilliums)
Pretty thing, whatever it is...

No worries. If I had a nickel for every typo I've ever made, we could both retire to Tahiti :lol: Now I don't have to ask you what macro lens you used for a 1mm flower!

I can't take credit for the ID, I cheated...there's a sometimes useful flower ID site, Pl@ntNet identify that I use, if there's a good image (which yours was). They do call it "dog strangling vine". They give several possible IDs, but that one seemed correct to me. Not a plant we see here in south Florida.

Less than 1mm would be microscopic...under 1cm, maybe? I don't recognize it either. Interesting shape, whatever it is.

Update...might be black swallow wort. If so, it's invasive and noxious, difficult to control

Thanks, Tony. I keep threatening to purchase a few more pots of these mini-pentas for the "garden", because they bloom almost constantly. This particular clump is sort of overgrown from the nursery pot.

Oooo! Yes, thanks! Might be Thelymitra crinita, "blue lady"...gorgeous!
Most interesting! Apropos of nothing, except odd botanical trivia... "blue" orchids are very, very rare, the Thelymitras (Australian natives, about 100 species) are among the few exceptions. Has to do with complicated genetic voodoo for pigment biochemistry. In other orchids, what passes for "blue" is usually a purplish shade, not true blue like these flowers. And the supermarket "blue" phalaenopsis are totally artificial, the flowers are colored by dyes injected into the floral stem.
Thanks, this is a treat!

Caleana major, an Australian native orchid. Amazing!
