    Hi everybody. Need to fill out small spaces with small flowers. I went on a search and found a list of flowers, all of them wild and majority rock garden plants. I have 5 plants that did not bear an ID and attached them here, with the website address and picture quotation. I had initially 6 pictures, of which one I excluded (# 3).

    1. Icelandic flower pictured at the end of winter, http://www.flickr.com/photos/thorgerdur_mattia/2337698705/, “tiny signs of spring”

    2. Plant in Buena Vista - the Colorado Rockies, www.artincolorado.com/arkansasvalley.htm, “Tiny flowers, spring”

    3.

    4. Very small flower (less than a match stick's head) in cheptainville forest, france, on a sandy soil, www.catnip.co.uk/nature/nat1.php?page=6&pics=3, “tiny red flowers”

    5. Creeping plant in Scotland, Aberlady Bay, http://www.henniker.org.uk/images/places/scotland/e_l/flowers_tiny.jpg, “tiny flowers”

    6. Plant in eastern sierra range, smaller than a coin's size, http://www.transistor.org/personal/eastern_sierra/sierra1.html, “Near the kilns I saw this tiny bouquet of flowers”.

    Please help.

    Thank you
    George

    (Mod hat on) Are these your own pictures? If they aren't, you're violating copyright and you need to edit your post and attach them as links instead to the sites where you found them. We take copyright very seriously here. Thank you for your understanding.

    (ID hat on)

    #4 (Tiny blue flower by the sea) reminds me strongly of the Gentians
    #6 (Scotland) looks like a creeping Thyme in bloom

    2 could be Anemone patens
    6 looks like Monoptilon bellioides, but that's more of a desert flower, rather than east Sierra-Great Basin.
