This wildflower has an unfortunate name in Japan, even though it is so small and lovely.

'O-inu-no-fuguri'

This means big dog's scrotum...poor thing, right?

They say it's because the shape of the fruit of this flower resembles that of a dog. omg...
But I love this flower!!😂

Pictures of speedwell's tiny blue flowers. They have four petals and they resemble very small pansies. Beautiful light blue with dark blue stripes. They are familiar to everyone, blooming everywhere in spring fields around the world. Spring cuties adorning the ground.
Pictures of various wildflowers blooming randomly in a field. A party of small flowers. This is a wide angle shot of small white and light blue flowers.
