Meet the cutest flower ever... the teeny tiny dwarf pansy - smaller than the tip of a pencil! 😍🌸🌱

This very small plant is only found on the Isles of Scilly. The last sighting of the pansy was in 2004 and was thought to have disappeared... BUT it has been spotted again - 17 years later!!

The pansy was discovered by Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust rangers on the island of Tean. Now it is flowering again hopefully it will continue to spread further afield on the island! 🀞
