THE SUBJECT: / Here we have a nice set of Actinotus helianthus (Flannel Flower) basking in the mid-afternoon sun on a warm Spring day. THE LOCATION: / The shot was made whilst on a wildflower hunt with a couple of Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club friends along the Flower Bowl Walk in the Kattang Nature Reserve at Dunbogan, south of Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia. THE MAKING OF ‘Flannel Flower Lampshades’: / The photograph has been purposely under exposed by taking the metering directly from the brightest flower to show the full affect of the sunlight on the petals of the open flowers, making them look like lamps with inverted lampshades. / What I really like about the final result is the wonderful natural composition of the flower head, the clarity of detail and of course that glorious light. / Fuji S9600: RAW, Manual settings of f/3.7 @ 1/400sec, Auto focus, ISO80, Hand held. / S7RAW & Photoshop CS. Visit my Aussie Wildflower collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more native gems. Enjoy! UPDATE: 06-04-09 / These fabulous Flannels have been awarded the POTD in the Shutterbugs Theme Section. UPDATE: 12-4-09 / Someone with impeccable tase, a love of light and beautiful Aussie wildflowers has bought a Medium Laminated Print of these fabulous Flannels.

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.

I have been searching for the elusive flannel flower for many months. The last time I saw one of these flowers in the wild was when I was a child so when I finally came across some when searching the Blue Mountains bushland I was delighted. These are my all time favourite flowers. The Sydney Flannel Flower (Actinotus helianthi) is an Australian wildflower usually found in open forest and woodland, usually on sand or sandstone on the coast and mountains of New South Wales and southern Queensland. Flannel flower is a herbaceous or shrubby plant reaching almost a metre in height in good conditions but is often much smaller. The leaves are deeply lobed, grey and velvety in nature, giving rise to the common name. The flowers are small and occur in clusters surrounded by velvety, “petal-like” bracts. The overall appearance of each head of flowers is similar to a daisy. (information courtesy of ASGAP)

This photograph was taken in the same small patch of elusive flannel flowers that I came across. I had to go walking through the bush, through 1000 spider webbed bushes to get to these beautiful flowers. Now this is a mean feat for me because I am scared of spiders, but I have searched for these flowers for a long time so couldn’t let that opportunity pass me by.

Stitched is taken from an original painting called ‘Kaleidescope Flannels’. / The flowers themselves were painted using a blue ink, which I have encouraged to ‘bleed’ giving the effect of batik work. This design would be cool to wear with levis and a bandana! Wear this one over your heart when your feeling some attitude coming on … lol

/ Shoes available at Zazzle Flannels by Karin Taylor / This card is from an original ink and acrylic painting by Karin Taylor. / The colours and textures have been altered and added to in Photoshop. / I liked the idea of adding stitching and a stained glass effect…so it’s both quilted and stained glass at the same time …

I came across this lovely trio of Actinotus helianthus (Flannel Flower). They were photographed along The Flower Bowl Walk in the Kattang Nature Reserve at Dunbogan, south of Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia, on the first day of spring. I had previously said to my Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club. mates that I would never photograph another Flannel Flower as I believe Flannel Flower Lampshades to be my ultimate Flannel Flower photograph. However, when I saw this little scene so well lit by the sunlight coming over my right shoulder and against such a great naturally dark background, I automatically set up the tripod, did a bit of gardening to remove some intrusive dead twigs, set up my trusty Fuji and did my best to produce yet another photograph of these common, iconic wild Aussie native flowers. Fuji S9600: RAW, Macro, f/5 @ 1/1800sec, Manual focus, Tripod, Timer. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3. Visit my Aussie Wildflower collection in my BubbleSite for more native gems. Enjoy!

I have been watching and waiting for one of these for a month or so now – one of my favourite native flowers. There is something about their woolly (flannel?!) leaves which I find so unusual. (Actinotus helianthi) / Flannel flower, a common name applied to several herbaceous plants of the Australian genus Actinotus, belonging to the carrot family. / It is a short-lived perennial, living up to four years in its natural environment. It grows in full sun or semi-shade. They flower between late September and early December. Of the 15 species of the genus, the best known and one of the most attractive, is the Sydney or Eastern Flannel Flower, A. helianthi, which ranges from the far south-east of NSW into south Queensland, and as far north as the sandstone tablelands inland from Rockhampton. It is an erect subshrub, up to a metre tall, with rather brittle stems and soft silver-grey leaves having a dense covering of pale woolly hairs. The daisy-like or star-shaped flowers are up to 8 centimetres across with an outer ring of long cream petals (bracts) which are flannel-like in texture. SOLD medium framed print to an anonymous buyer 4 May 09 Thank you!!

“Nature is neither kind nor cruel. Nature just is.” (Sir David Attenborough) THE SUBJECT: / The title is apt as I photographed this little Diaea evanida (Flower Spider) as she was preparing her catch, an Apis mellifera (European Honey Bee), for dinner around 5pm on a mid-spring day. / The flower is a Actinotus helianthi (Flannel Flower), an iconic Aussie wildflower. THE LOCATION: / The shot was made while on a solo wildflower safari at Grant’s Head, Bonny Hills, NSW, Australia. THE MAKING of ‘Dinner at Five 2/2’: / I was all twisted up like a pretzel as I tried to get a good angle of shot under the flower, set the metering, get the focus and frame the shot while my subject was trying to get away from me and my Fuji. There was a price to pay. I got a tick under my watchband. I didn’t notice it until after I got home and it was a minor operation to dig it out intact. / The trick with the exposure was to meter off the very bright Flannel Flower and lock it then focus on the subject and use the flash to compensate and fill shadows. / Fuji S9600: RAW, Manual settings of f/3.6 @ 1/400sec, Manual focus, Pop-up flash at lowest power, Hand held. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3. Visit the Insects & Spiders collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more multi-legged critters. UPDATE: / 13-01-09 / The judge for the Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club December 2008 Open Competition awarded my spider ‘n’ bee a Merit Certificate in the Large Colour Print section.

Guarding her home against marauding photographers is a fine specimen of Diaea evanida (Flower Spider) . She sits upon an equally fine specimen of Actinotus helianthi (Flannel Flower) . It seems that each Flannel Flower plant has its resident Flower Spider as my Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club companion and I discovered that day. This one in particular was fairly large by Flower Spider standards and the markings were the most prominent and colourful I have seen to date. We were on safari at Grants Head, Bonny Hills, NSW, Australia, on a great summer day and though the photographic pickings were lean we came home with a few keepers such as this. Fuji S9600: RAW, Super Macro mode, Manual settings of f/2.8 @ 1/3000sec, Manul focus, Hand held. Visit the Insects & Spiders collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more eight legged critters. UPDATE: / 07-01-09 / This mini Nature shot was featured in the Australian Native Plants Group. UPDATE: / 10-03-09 / This lovely flower spider defending his flannel turf won a Merit Certificate in the Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club’s February 2009 Open Competition in the Colour Digital section.

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. Facts / Flannel Flower; belonging to the carrot family (carrots!...amazing, I learn something everday). A short-lived perennial, grows in full sun or semi-shade, flowers between late September and early December. Petals are velvety to touch – gorgeous!
