Paper Daisy (Xerochrysum bracteatum)
One of Australia’s most loved but often under-the-radar flowers, the Paper daisy, also known as the everlasting daisy and strawflower, was first discovered by explorer and pirate William Dampier in 1699 in Western Australia.
The flower found its way to the garden and heart of Josephine Boneparte, wife and consort of Emperor Napoleon Boneparte.
The Paper daisy flower can withstand extremely high temperatures, as it is native to one of the hottest places on earth, which in turn makes it a symbol of strength and longevity.
