This is a misleading picture, it is a tiniest flower u can imagine (about 1 cm across). It is one of the few annuals that survive the harsh highlands of Mt Hermon. The soil is frozen under snow in winter, in April the snow melts and for a short period of time the soil is wet, but than long dry period occur. This is the reason why there are very few annuals.

A few days ago I posted a close up of the tiny annual - Viola modesta. Here u can see the whole plant growing together with Asperula stosa in the arid heights of Mt Hermon.

Viola modesta is one of the tiniest-modest wild pansies. In Israel it is a rare, endangered species.

Some days ago I have posted the flower, now the plant is fruiting. This is a really tiny fruit. The seeds are gone after a couple of hours. Viola modesta is a rare plant in Israel.

This is a misleading picture, this is one of the tiniest flower...

Viola modesta is the tiniest modest pansy, in Israel it is rare, confined to the highest mountains. This is the closest I could get with 1-1 macro.
