Flannel flower - Actinotus helianthi. We've found the Queen and her ladies in waiting doesn't she look just lovely. Tomorrow we have an audience with the King.
Winam, wow I've never thought of planting them in the garden. They would be a great garden plant.
Joo, the szarotka flowers are amazing. I searched for some images on the web.
Letty, the green tips are that extra special touch I reckon, even more unexpected than the fluffy leaves.
Julie, I saw them when I was young but only on a visit down south. They do grow in some parts of Qld apparently but I've never seen them there. I guess like Kangaroo Paw and Waratah they are well known across the nation but not necessarily seen locally.
To me this is quite unique.
ReplyDeleteAlso very pretty!
Delicate. Pretty.

I planted a few flannel flower plants in my garden last year, and this year they have flowered beautifully.
ReplyDeleteShe is exquisite! a wonderful royal companion for a King.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely and fluffy:) It reminds me our flowers which grow in the mountains and are called 'szarotka'
ReplyDeleteClassic beauty.
ReplyDeleteI've never noticed the tips of the petals before - how they are kinda green.
ReplyDeleteWish I could touch it.
They have such a space in our natonal psyche, the Flannel Flower. Right from an ankle biter, I had a regard for them.
