Showy Everlasting Daisy, Schoenia filifolia ssp. subulifolia, (synonym Helichrysum subulifolium) is a native Western Australian daisy now threatened with extinction in the wild. Fortunately, this species responds well to cultivation and is being planted widely in parks, gardens and forested areas throughout Australia. It has many fine, bright green leaves and many upright stems to between 30 and 40 cm high. Each stem carries a large golden-yellow flower that is 2 to 4 cm across. The flowers are good for drying, to use in dried flower arrangements.

Lovely....I always think it would be lovely to go on a wildflower tour, but alas, no time as of yet...
