Strawflowers

Strawflower

Suns scattered on ground
though they don’t glow like real
they own their sunshine.

Yellow strawflowers 
in the universe of green 
outshines like a sun.

P.s: Haiku inspired by yellow paper daisies captured from one of the wildest place in Theni. 
Commonly known as the golden everlasting or strawflower, is a flowering plant native to Australia and it grows as a woody or herbaceous perennial or annual shrub up to a metre tall with green or grey leafy foliage. Golden yellow or white flower heads are produced from spring to autumn; their distinctive feature is the papery bracts that resemble petals.

    Love the little Strawflowers.. They look so happy and look like they are smiling.. BUT--It's me who is smiling when I see those little beauties.

    Hugs,
    Betsy

    I love these flowers very much and they are only grown in the cool highlands in my country. I am aware that the farmers would dry them to make excellent dried flowers with different colours.. Thank you for telling me the name is strawflowers!

    Hello Jeevan, I am a first time visitor to your blog and currently live in Nashua, NH. I visited here after reading a fellow blogger's post. The yellow flowers are lovely and reminded me of similar ones we had in our garden when we lived in VA a few years ago. I plan to bookmark your blog for future visits and invite you to visit our blog anytime as we always enjoy and appreciate visits and comments.
