With a nod to Mother's Day I present the world's smallest flower...Watermeal, aka Wolffia. To see the flower a person would need a microscope since it's 1/42 of an inch long and 1/85 of an inch wide. Without magnification it looks like algae. The second part of today's post is that the very woman who fought to make Mother's Day a holiday spent the last years of her life trying to have it abolished as the essence of the holiday was lost in the commercialization, as is true of most holidays.
