I had never heard of a Strawflower until a couple of years ago.

I really like them. So different than other flowers.

The petals on the Strawflower are the opposite of most other flowers.

Instead of being soft and delicate the petals on a strawflowers are firm and strong.

Firm but not brittle.

The petals hold their shape as they unfold from around the center.

I love the pointy spikey shapes and lines they create as they project out from the center.

If you love flowers I highly recommend going to your local nursery and asking if they have any Strawflowers. You won’t regret it.
