The understated beauty of Pearly Everlasting is something in and of itself. A beautiful wildflower that attracts several species of butterflies most notable the Painted Lady. Simple yet elegant, rustic yet refined, perhaps everything a wild wildflower should be.

I have always loved the common name of that flower. It’s like a story in two words.

It is a beautiful and descriptive name for this flower. Ours are starting to dry out and go to seed this week.
