Xerochrysum bracteatum, a native species that has given rise to a variety of cultivars.

Stylidium. The first flowers opened on 2nd November, considerably later than last year when it bloomed from mid September. I’ve been eagerly awaiting them, not only because they attract a range of bees, but because their pollination mechanism is quite dramatic. (for more, take a look at last year’s blog)

Stylidium. We have assumed this to be Stylidium graminifolium, but there is another possibility … Stylidium armeria. Paul is currently re-imaging, re-measuring leaves, and researching. Whichever it is, their floral mechanism is likely to be identical. (see iNaturalist discussion)
