Almost missed them

So, so tiny!

Spreading stonecrop, Sedum divergens. The white flowers (in focus and not) are Shepherd's cress, Teesdalia nudicaulis.

I found these on the sandy dunes at Oyster Bay. A patch a foot across, no more, just at shoe height.

With my fingertip for size. That fingernail is 8 mm. long; I have tiny nails.

The plants will eventually sprout taller stems, up to 6 inches tall, with showy yellow flowers.
