A selection of paper flowers

摘要

The common names 'everlastings', 'paper flowers', or 'straw flowers', are normally given to helichrysums but also to an assortment of other genera which have paper like bracts surrounding the flowers. Lasting in good condition longer than many other flowers, they are excellent plants for a sunny place in the garden. Many Australian helichrysums have been reclassified to other genera recently, with botanists revising members of Compositae(Asteraceae) in recent years.
