Strawflowers.  Photo taken at the Anacortes Ferry Terminal, Anacortes, WA.
Strawflowers — also called Everlastings — should be picked and hung to dry before their gorgeous yellow centers are revealed.  The flowers in this photo are past their prime.  When preserving an Everlasting, the stems should be removed and replaced with wire stems.

This beauty grows in my Aunt Vera’s garden. She posed prettily for me so I could take her pic. I do not know her formal name — although I was told. I just call her Sunny.
