This tiny plant seems to have 2 different types of flower. One type of flower has 4 transparent petals which grow from axillary bud. The other type has purple petals and grow from terminal bud. Those flowers are only 2mm in size.

@lori.tas: The transparent one is not sticky. I wonder if this plant has unisexual flowers. So curious to know which species it is.
Reminds me of how carnivorous plants have trap 'flowers' and real flowers. The real flowers are usually way up the top so that they don't accidentally catch their pollinators. Were the little ones sticky?
