Dreamy Yellow Strawflower
4 more pictures above in notes! ENJOY!! :)
I had a lot of fun playing with a shallow depth of field for these Strawflowers and I also needed to do everything I could to get crisp images in the low light!
From Wiki:
Commonly known as strawflower or the golden everlasting (Xerochrysum bracteatum) this flower is a plant in the family Asteraceae native to Australia. Described by Étienne Pierre Ventenat in 1803, it was known as Helichrysum bracteatum for many years before being transferred to a new genus Xerochrysum in 1990. It grows as a woody or herbaceous perennial or annual shrub up to a metre (3 ft) tall with green or grey leafy foliage. Golden yellow or white flower heads are produced from spring to autumn; their distinctive feature is the papery bracts that resemble petals. The species is widespread, growing in a variety of habitats across the country, from rainforest margins to deserts and subalpine areas. The golden everlasting serves as food for various larvae of lepidopterans (butterflies and moths), and adult butterflies, hoverflies, native bees, small beetles and grasshoppers visit the flower heads.
