Scale to a five pence coin

Loving the exquisite tininess of what I think is Wall Speedwell (Veronica arvensis) in the morning shadow of the Den Rose wall. That is a 5p coin for scale. In the third photo there are four little shoots.


Other tinies this morning include my first spotting this year of Cornsalad (Valerianella locusta) and today's favourite daisy. Also an old and tiny 'maggleflying glass' (infant Toadlet word) that I found at my mother's house recently while sorting out its hoard of parent and grandparent belongings–more on that in another post anon.
Valerianella locusta

The little magnifier has lost one lens and needs to have all that clart cleaned off it
but the remaining lens works well.
