    Just thought I would let you know that my friend came round and pulled it off. She said I have to collect them as they flower and use them as a pot puri, just thought I would post a pic so others could see [​IMG]

    Hello, prettypolly. Yes, I agree with Waco that this is an everlasting flower, the Helichrysum bracteatum "Hot Bikini" and they are excellent in pot pourri mixtures.

    I did answer this before but it seems to have gone astray in the system! [​IMG]
