#Waitzia acuminata is an incredibly stunning species within the #Gnaphalieae tribe! And one of my favs it’s like a botanical flame! Plus those #Mordellidae Beetles were just loving the pollen! Sooo many of them!!

A ray of sunshine in one flower #Podolepis aristata! These lanky plants are found all over the southwest, and almost look as if they are floating with those thin stem! Also a #Gnaphalieae with show petals rather than bracts!

The #Gnaphalieae tribe is probably most iconic tribe of Asteraceae in Australia! #Waitzia nitida is one such species! They spot very showy involucral bracts, instead of the classic lingulate petals! These persist along with the color leading to many in this tribe being called Everlastings!
