The Old Forge (Friday 18th August 2017)

I've been photographing this alpine in the front yard ever since I planted it, but always ended up blipping something else. That didn't happen today as I didn't photograph anything else. Its tiny flowers appear inside the burrs but have finished now, so this can't be for Flower Friday. It is Acaena (microphylla) 'Copper Carpet' (syn. A. m. 'Kupferteppich') according to the label.
