Eastern Flannel Flower

Eastern Flannel Flower

Australian genus Actinotus. This one growing in the Tilligerry Penninsula Conservation Area.

Beautiful Flannel Flowers have been gracing the roadside near my place for several weeks now.

Finally I decide to stop and get a few shots…the council mower beat me to it today; they were there on my way out and gone on my way home. The 3km stretch of flowers is no more; just a couple of hundred metres remain!

Still, managed to get a few pics and have just applied a range of treatments.
