Great macro. Wonderful color. Well done.

No, they're called Bluets (Houstonia caerulea)

Try it! Or get a cheap bellows for even more magnification.

That's great : )

What lens and what size extension tube did you use?

Could you still select your apature?

Nice one!

Oops. Should have mentioned that in the first post.
Pentax SMC-F 100mm f/2.8 with a Pentax 25mm extension tube.

I could select the aperture because this lens is old enough to actually have an aperture ring

BTW: My Pentax extension tubes are old K-era tubes without a coupling even for the diaphragm stop-down lever, so it's strictly stop-down metering.
