Dancing princesses

My mystery flowers are so tiny I had to lie down on the gravel to shoot them. They all face downwards so I had to position the camera to go up and under! After this effort, I now got to my feet covered in gravel! Oh, and the wee green bug is a bonus! I will have to go back and see if I can get it!

I have heard from Tony - @tonygig that the flower is: Erythronium oregonum I've checked on different sites and this is a top identification!

Beautiful flowers

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Beautiful shot! I'm sorry I don't know what they are either.

[Tessa]

Lovely sure would like to know what they are. How big are they.

[Chris]

beautiful in contrast with black background.

[David Pryde]

Looks like a ballet of petals on the evening breeze - I can imagine them spinning and twirling. Beautiful creation and well worth a little gravel I'm sure.

[Tony]

Whatever they are, one things for sure, they are well and beautifully captured. Love the stark contrast to the background.

[Alison Miller]

Delicate capture, well worth the posturing:)

[Ramesh Chand]

And against the dark background these are lovely flowers.....

[Arthur Loosley]

Nice shot and title. Excellent POV and lovely contrast with the dark background.

Maggie Ihave looked in my book and they could be Erythronium oregonum, Clump forming spring flower. Beautiful capture.

@tonygig Thanks a heap, Tony - I couldn't even find this on "flowers white"! 11 pages of photos!

[Abhijit]

Love the focus and the sharpness on the flower

[Lindy]

Oh am I supposed to be looking at the gorgeous flowers not the aphid you have cleverly captured? Love the contrast with the dark background.

[Maggiemae]

@lwain Is it an aphid, Lindy? I should have whacked it!

[Kirsty Alexandra]

Very beautiful flowers, love how they stand out so well against the dark background.

Lovely to know it's name Maggie , it looks quite a delicate little flower not unlike the fuchsia family.
