strawflowers
Dried arrangement flowers
Strawflowers are plants with papery, stiff-petaled blooms that retain their color and shape when dried, making them popular for dried flower arrangements.
The petals have a crisp, straw-like texture even when fresh.
Several species go by this name, most commonly *Xerochrysum bracteatum*, native to Australia.
She hung the strawflowers upside down to dry for her winter bouquets.
