Plant Actinotus helianthi, Flannel Flower, Herbaceous Perennials - in @AurigaFlora garden plant collection

Australia Native - Flannel flower.

Although sometimes referred to as the Sydney Flannel Flower, it is usually simply known as the Flannel Flower. It is prolific in the sandstone national parks in the greater Sydney area and can be sometimes found in spectacular drifts. The flowers are about 50mm in diameter and appear in Spring.

Native Australian flora

Soft as velvet, the colour of the moon. These flowers are a gift of warmth and comfort. Their Latin name actinotus helianthi literally means "in the form of rays like the sunflower". Despite looking like they belong to the daisy family, they are actually members of the carrot family Apiaceae.

This is an Australian Native flower and it feels just like flannel to touch. Taken in the National park near me. As with most Australian Natives they spring to life after a Bush Fire has raged over the top of them and this area was burnt out the year before and they have come back with renewed vigor.
