Found a beautiful flower and found out it’s called Chicory. I set a few tiny sand garnet amongst the pollen for some of the shots to show how tiny the garnets are – as well as how tiny the pollen is!

Garnets in these images are 0.2mm field of view. Included a Lego figure next to the flower to show size.
