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. 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)

The Grass tree (Xanthorrhoea australis) like many Australian plants needs fire to propagate effectively. Under normal conditions it is rare for the flower to form, after fire however it is a different story with every grasstree in sight sporting an amazing ‘kangaroo tail’ from its mop. I found this bunch on the lower slopes of Mt Oberon at Wilsons Promontory a few months after the 2005 bushfires.
