They are of the same family, Asters or Sunflowers.

I love, love, love pearly everlasting. That is a beautiful photo. When I lived in NY state I would gather it and dry it. It looks exactly the same dried as it does fresh. I’ve tried to grow it in my Michigan garden, but worms have always gotten into the flowerbuds and destroyed them before they bloom.

That’s interesting that worms attack it. Here it grows well at higher elevations and partly because it blooms in mid and late summer, is a favorite of butterflies. In high elevations, especially near small water sources, it is prolific.

Oh! The Pearly everlasting are beautiful! I happen to loves asters and sunflowers, so these are of the same family… neat. Lovely captures.

That’s a big family with lots of pretty flowers, probably my favorite.

Two favorites of mine, seen today from quite a different environment as I log on from Daytona Beach–I can see the surf from my window, and it makes the Montana landscape seem doubly far away.

Strangely enough, we’re both having about the same weather today, although it will be about 20 degrees cooler here at night. Hope you’re having a great time!

Both lovely in their similar colors. Especially like the Pearly Everlasting. Some of these flowers sure have interesting and colorful names.

I always like to see Pearly everlasting, especially in the high country. There is always activity around it. I read that, as Kateri mentioned in her comment, when dried it seems to last forever and it is frequently dried and used for winter bouquets.

Pearly Everlasting…. Now isn’t that a name that is music to one’s ear’s? Great photos.

Yes, it’s a plant name that’s pleasant and makes some sort of sense. I especially like them because of the butterflies that are always around them, kind of like a bonus.

I like that name: Pearly Everlasting. And that it lasts in dried bouquets is amazing too. Both are exceptional – as are all of your photos!
