ID Request 3 - North Bengal White Wildflowers - 10May09SJ : Attachments (2). 20 posts by 6 authors. And the third one. Danke Schon. Beautiful flowers - thanks for the continuing show! These look like species of Pearly Everlasting (Anaphalis). These two pictures could easily be different species - the leaves seem different in the two. The first one could be Anaphalis margaritacea http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Western%20Pearly%20Everlasting.html The flowers are not yet open. The second one could be Anaphalis busua or Anaphalis contorta. I am assuming that some of the flowers are actually open, but the petal- like white bracts remain erect and do not spread out, which is a characteristic of these two species. |
