Flower is possibly big for gracilis, whose flowers are only around 5mm across, but hard to get a sense of the size of it from this photo. Looks like the same shot I just confirmed as Wahl sp., and if so, maybe take this one down?

Jackie, it is much smaller than the other one and is the really small Wahl. My 10mm might be overstating size a bit but I thought larger than 5mm.

Well, OK then.

I measured the flower diameter this afternoon - 8mm.
Cheers

I needed a leg stretch! Just checked mine: 6.5 and 8mm (hard pressed to find flowers that had not closed up for the day), while capillaris was 20-25mm.
