Blooming Maples

This incredible beauty, in all its perfection, is only 1/4 inch in size! Such a teeny flower for such a big tree.


Here is a better idea of its scale, seen against the veins of an oak leaf


I love the fragile shadow this bloom is casting on the water. The collection of stamens makes me think of a multi-legged creature. It would look magnificent as a brooch.
