Flannel Flowers are one of my favorite wild flowers. They seem to grow randomly in the bush and they flower spasmodically throughout the year with the main flowering period September to June. This plant was not far from the previous image, the Black Snake. Two very different kinds of beauty.
The white wooly petals are like velvet, strong and soft to the touch and they sometimes have a tinge of green. They germinate rapidly and abundantly after fire and we have had large numbers out the back after the last bush fire.
I rather like this image and I think I might play with it a bit over the next week or so as an experiment. If you look hard there is a very small red spider on one of the bottom petals of the large flower head.
