Arctic starflower or Lysimacia europaea is a common wild flower in Norway. The Norwegian name is “star of the forest”. This beautiful flower grows all over Norway in both the forest and highlands.

I think it is a very beautiful flower and every year I take new macro-shots of it and I never get fully satisfied with the results. Below is the two best shots from this summer.

Star of the forest

woodland dressed in green moss
silent
just the sound of light wind through the trees

little white flowers on the forest floor
shines
like stars in the night
