Soft Pink Strawflowers

I was delighted to discover that all of these flowers I'm sharing today are Strawflowers. The information on Wiki is quite interesting so I put many blocks of text to accompany the pictures for you to read! :)

More about this flower from From Wiki:
The Strawflower, or golden everlasting, has proven very adaptable to cultivation. It was propagated and developed in Germany in the 1850s, and annual cultivars in a host of colour forms from white to bronze to purple flowers became available. Many of these are still sold in mixed seed packs. In Australia, many cultivars are perennial shrubs, which have become popular garden plants. Sturdier, long-stemmed forms are used commercially in the cut flower industry.
