* The flower itself is small, about 3/8 inch to 5/8 inch. Thank you macro and Sony! LOL You can read more about it on this Wikipedia page , it is interesting to note there are 7 species. According to the Wikipedia page this species could be Conradina canescens - False Rosemary. "This species is found along the gulf coast of Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, as well as in the sand hills of central Florida. It is the most common and widespread species in the genus." It has also been suggested that it may be Conradina grandiflora - Largeflower False Rosemary. "This species grows in counties along the Atlantic coast of Florida. It is listed as a threatened species in the state of Florida."
** Thanks to friend Donna and the staff at Gulf State Park for their assistance in the identification process. We all tend to lean towards the Canescens species.

You've got one on me. In all my many attempts at macro shots I have never had one come out good. Yours is wonderful! It's so nice to see spring flowers, even the tiny ones. :-)
Beautiful picture with lots of interesting details. Cathy @ palmsrv

Beautiful, beautiful. Among your best. I agree with Jasia, the expert!
Thank you all, you are too kind, and you make me blush. Thanks.
That flower is less than an inch? I'm with Jasia. Spectacular beautiful photography!
