I measured a couple this morning. Not good photos, but you can tell how tiny they are.View attachment 15820View attachment 15821

That is really tiny. What lens did you use to shoot them in the first set?

Canon 80-200 lens with a Raynox 150 closeup attachment. (probably around 100mm) Then cropped them till they almost died!

I went back to the cemetery and shot some of of the unknown flower. Turns out yesterday's were past prime. Today I found some with the flower parts still attached. I'm guessing the two dark colored leaves are bracts, then it has 3 sepals and 3 petals. That obviously makes it a monocot, but I can't get any farther.
