Variable Milfoil has flowers that are tiny, obscure features of the plant. Flowers appear on an emergent stem to lift them out of the water for pollination, and they are two times smaller than the bract (specialized leaves associated with reproductive structures) that supports them. Everything else about this plant is so bouffy and in your face, that I thought I'd get down and personal to see if I could photograph these miniature beauties. This is what I got:
I was pleased to have found them whilst still flowering, so I could get this close up view.
