Trigonotis Peduncularis (Cucumber Herb) 胡瓜草(キュウリグサ)

Japanese follows English. 英語の後に日本語が続きます。

They're Trigonotis peduncularis or cucumber herb. The flowers are so tiny, 0.2 - 0.3 cm in diameter. 

Since about two weeks ago, I've kept an eye on the ground while taking a morning walk because I don't want to miss any tiny signs of spring like cucumber herb. Its English and Japanese names both suggest that the plant smells like cucumber, and I want to try to smell it, but won't! Who can pick such lovely flowers?

胡瓜草(キュウリグサ)です。最近、朝の散歩でずっと下を見ながら歩いていて見つけました。胡瓜の臭いが本当にするか確かめたいのはやまやまですが我慢我慢。こんなにちっちゃいお花を摘むことなんてできません。
