    Edmondia sesamoides flowering stems
    Author: Ivan Lätti
    Photographer: Thabo Maphisa

    The Edmondia sesamoides shrublet in picture presents a few slender, sparsely branched, nearly erect stems tipped with everlasting type papery flowerheads. They are mostly seen in spring and early summer. The disc florets are yellow, the enclosing involucres consist of a few attractive rows of protecting bracts that may be yellow, white or pink.

    The stems are white covered in fine woolly hairs and narrow green leaves that cling to the surface (Bean and Johns, 2005; iNaturalist; Wikipedia).
