Mosaic Monday - It's a bunch of Bracteantha bracteata!


 One of my favourites ... I just love these everlasting daisies.  I have only recently started growing them in my garden and I have been so impressed by their colours and their crackly texture!  It's such a great sight to see the bracts slowly opening to reveal all the tiny yellow florets inside ... it's a bit like unwrapping a pretty present.

  1. Are those English Daisies or straw flowers. So pretty. I just discovered English Daisies here in the States and I love them.

  2. Sherry ... we call these Everlasting or Paper Daisies but you probably know them as Straw Flowers ... they feel like straw and last for ages and ages when cut.

  3. Beautiful Mosaic Bernie!
    My Golden Everlasting has just exploded with 'flowers'. I can't wait until next year when I will try to grow some of the pretty colours you have from seed!

  8. The delights of a blooming garden are constant, aren't they? I've never grown straw flowers but just may give them a go!
