Billy Buttons - a flower that looks like you can play the drums with it! An Australian native that I have long admired. My mother had a native ground cover with small yellow flowers that were disc like (eg round but flat) when we were kids - which she called Billy Buttons. I have been on the look out for the past few years for one, as I think they would grow well in our sandy soils, but this version is a delightful alternative.
You can find a variety in the paddocks here
ReplyDeleteThat's a very unusual plant, but very beautiful! I've never seen anything like that around here in Texas (at least in my area). ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteVery cool. Isn't nature interesting.
ReplyDeleteThey look happy there - lots of flowers and buds to come.
ReplyDeleteThat's not something i have seen around here, although don't get out into the scrub a lot these days!
ReplyDeleteThat is a fun plant. Howlarge are the balls? Hard to get perspective on the size from a photo.
