Description
Wandering through my local park, I came across a swathe of Flannel Flowers (Actinotus helianthi)
Really a sight to behold - various shades of white with grey green foliage. All fuzzy and bobbing around in the breeze. I just had to touch them - because they are so touchable!
I settled myself down to watch them and finally found this little group amongst the many. They seemed to capture the feel of the entire group.
The Flannel Flower (Actinotus helianthi), is a common species of Summer flowering plant native to the bushland around Sydney, NSW. Although it looks like a daisy, it belongs to the same family as the carrot!
