These delicate papery flowers are today’s Flower a Day feature. You might remember from my notes on a previous post that I discovered them in the middle of a path on the edge of a field with no others of the variety to be seen. How it got there I can’t imagine, but it was such a lovely surprise! These are almost pre-dried ready for indoor display, but of course I didn’t pick these. We used to buy the pale coloured dried ones and they were lovely, but I think I prefer these ‘pearly’ ones. I hope they bring a bit of light to your day as they have to mine.

This innocuous sweet-looking little flower is another ‘incredible edible’ with an illustrious list of medicinal benefits to boot. In a way, it’s posture almost seems to be saying “I’m bursting to tell you all the good things I can bring to your life”. Of course, one of the good things that is immediately apparent is its beauty. That intricate bloom with the hint of pink/red peaking out is a botanical wonder. And I love the name, pearly everlasting – the perfect moniker for another underappreciated hero of the plant world. Thanks, Ellie, for this little pearly gem.
Thanks Janet. Each one of your comments makes me take another look at my photo and I see it from a new perspective! So thanks for showing that again for me. I’m glad you liked today’s offering. Until Sunday!
Hi they are very lovely. Love the soft colour in them against the darker background. Very beautiful thanks.
Thanks a lot Linda. 😀
