Flannel Flower

Today's flora photo is of flannel flowers and they are my favourite wild flowers. I just love them. This was taken a few weeks ago as they have finished flowering for the year now.

We usually get a lot of these in the bushland at the back of Fingal Bay, but this year there weren't too many, I think they all disappeared after the fires there last year.
