If you’re looking for a long lasting flower then you can’t go past strawflowers! 💖💛💖 They come in a good variety of colours and, if you’re lucky, will self seed and give you many years of pleasure. Thanks @jimbobjim for sharing yours. #strawflower #summerblooms

@jimbobjim congrats on your feature!💘😍

I love these Australian natives. They look great in the garden and in a vase. They’re long lasting and hold their colour well. Pollinators love them too. 💖 Thanks @edmariebusano for sharing for #wildlifewednesday 💖

Congratulations on your feature photo! I never knew these were Australian native plants! 💗 Great picture and capture! @edmariebusano 🐝
