A 'crackling' (😁) photograph, Kathy. Wonderful however!

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins!

That is a perfect specimen Kathy, and it is full of warmth :)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
I had to Google this one, being unfamiliar with it (as I am with a myriad of flowers ;o).
Xerochrysum bracteatum, commonly known as the Golden Everlasting or Strawflower, is a flowering plant in the family Asteraceae native to Australia. Described by �tienne Pierre Ventenat in 1803, it was known as Helichrysum bracteatum for many years before being transferred to a new genus Xerochrysum in 1990. It is an annual up to 1 m (3.3 ft) tall with green or grey leafy foliage. Golden yellow or white flower heads are produced from spring to autumn; their distinctive feature is the papery bracts that resemble petals. The species is widespread, growing in a variety of habitats across the country, from rainforest margins to deserts and subalpine areas. The Golden Everlasting serves as food for various larvae of lepidopterans (butterflies and moths), and adult butterflies, hoverflies, native bees, small beetles, and grasshoppers visit the flower heads. Basically it is a bright and glowing butterfly buffet! Neato!
