This pretty little plant is very tiny ... about 3 cm high. The little flowers do look like a candelabra ... just big enough for the fairies to dine and dance under! The people at E-Flora helped me in identifying this tiny plant as this actual plant wasn't in my "Plants of Southern Interior British Columbia" though Androsace septentrionalis was.

I didn't realize you had another blog.That is certainly a pretty flower in the first picture. You are correct in saying we don't take the time to look.
