Spring Flowers, Tucson, Part 5: Dainty Desert Hideseed (Eucrypta micrantha)

Dainty Desert Hideseed, aka Eucrypta micrantha, which literally translates as ‘well-hidden micro-flower.’

They’re so small that I would never have noticed them had I not been photographing another tiny-blooming wildflower right next to it.

Even tiny, these plants are beautiful!


Check out the other pictures I’ve posted of Tucson’s bloom this spring:
