For these tiny house leek flowers to open. Each flower is just two centimetres across from petal to petal, and the detail is a masterpiece of nature.
Taken this morning before the sun was too bright, I think they were worth waiting for. You can click for a bigger view.
If you like photographing details, Jen H would like to see, over at the Daily Post.

The detail is a masterpiece of nature, Indeed! Beautiful captures!
Somehow it seems wrong to ask for a bigger view, when the pictures in your main post are already bigger than the actual flowers!
Such pretty fuzzy flowers…
I grow lots of these and they are quite stunning a masterpiece as you say…it’s sad that the flowering part then dies though..!!
And your shots are masterpieces of photography. Lovely detail, and how nice to see patience rewarded!
How beautiful. Definitely worth the wait!
It is indeed amazingly beautiful
“Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these” Matthew 6:29
How gorgeous are these, Gilly!!
Dainty beauties, for sure!
I’ve never seen the flower. I buy leeks and enjoy them but didn’t know they had a flower. Thank you for introducing them to me. Mother Nature gave them beautiful colors and great details which you’ve captured in your photographs beautifully.

They aren’t edible leeks (as far as I know!) they are little succulent type plants that spread. In some places they grow on roofs!
That’s interesting, Gilly. I don’t think we have them here. Thank you for the information. Great photo representing them. 😎
Oh, they are exquisite little gems, Gilly. You did a great job of photographing them. 🙂
Perfect details, indeed. Very well done.
Thank you, the details challenge has made me want to try more macros shots!
Gilly, these shots are FABULOUS! I boasted to Viveka that Jude was the mistress of macro and could outdo Jen, but I truly think you’ve done it. Hats off to you, girl 🙂 🙂
You’d better not let Jude hear you say that! I fixed them so you actually CAN click on them now. Happy Monday lovely girl 🙂
Hey- I’m not scared of Jude (knees knocking 😦 ). Thanks, sweetheart- walking in Guisborough Forest with the group today. 🙂 🙂
Oi you! I DID hear that! You can’t keep swapping and changing you know. But I will concur that these are the best macros I have seen from Gilly – more please! They are superb.
Just calling a spade a spade 🙂 🙂
Hah!
The detail in these is spectacular, Gilly. Definitely worth the wait.
Aren’t they gorgeous? I have some of these and a photo coming up in the next few weeks, I must say that last photo is a very good macro, but I cannot enlarge any of the photos 😦
Thanks 🙂 lots of people don’t even notice these tiny flowers, but they are well worth looking into. You should be able to zoom on them now!
I bought one for my butler sink garden, I don’t think I have seen these before, but then I haven’t bought succulents for a long time. I shall pop back and have a look.
Even better when enlarged. You should do more macro photography these are excellent. The flowers remind me of one of those tropical carnivorous plants – only they are so tiny. I expect most people viewing these don’t realise just how small the flowers are.
Love these Gilly – well worth the wait.
Perfectly captured details of beautiful flowers! So worth the wait, Gilly.
I’m so pleased you waited .. These are beautiful
These I believe I have seen before but never like this. I am in awe!
The colours are a little dill until you really look closely!
They’re amazing little stars!
Nature is thrilled to have its masterpieces captured in images masterfully. 😀 I like the tiny little hairs. Reminds me of a girl I used to date. Ahihihi … Both beautiful. 🙂
