@madeinnl @fbailey @milaniet @beryl @gemmabrowne Thank yo uall very much. The tiny blossom looks quite plain and unexciting so you can imagine my surprise when I saw the "sugar coating" sparkling on the vastly enlarged image.

wow it does look like sugar!

[Jesika]

@koalagardens It's amazing, isn't it and the centre looks like a tiny furnace. I've taken many pictures of this flower as a single floret or the usual "head" but had no idea of the sparkles until Oly Tuffy came along

Fantastic, it does look like sugar sprinkles.

@joev I'll have to ask my very clever botanist friend why this happens and also experiment with other flowers.
Thanks, Joe
