Everlasting [Helichrysum bracteatum]

Taken at Humber Arboretum

 

Admired for the beauty of its joyful flowers, Helichrysum bracteatum or Xerochrysum bracteatum (Everlasting Flower) is a short-lived tender perennial or annual boasting daisy-like flowers, up 1-3 in. across (2-8 cm), adorned with a central yellow disk surrounded by glossy, petal-like bracts in brilliant shades of yellow, orange, red, pink or white. The petals are like stiff paper, and they unfold to form concentric rings in bright colors.
