Little Leaf Miner's Lettuce (Montia parvifolia)

Here's another spring flower from Saxe Point Park. I think this is what is called Little Leaf Miner's Lettuce (Montia parvifolia) although there are a number of similar species and sub-species of the little plant. If you know this local plant well enough to identify it with more certainty please make a comment or correction.

  1. There is something very rich and complementary about the dark hues around this flower.
