Soft pink
I'm always delighted to see a Straw Flower (Strawflower), of any colour. Just fascinated by how perfect they usually are when I see them - this one does have a few curls. Love their paper or silk-like petals and gentle mix of pink and white. Photographed (macro) at the Reader Rock Garden on 26 July 2013.
The petals aren’t true petals at all, but in fact are modified leaves called bracts, that come in many colours, including yellow, orange, cream, pink, white, and purple.
