How can a flower be so perfect?


I'm always delighted to see a Straw Flower, of any colour. Just fascinated by how perfect they always are. Love their paper-like petals, sheen, and gentle mix of pink and white. Photographed (macro) at the Reader Rock Garden on 26 July 2013.
The petals aren’t true petals at all, but in fact are modified leaves called bracts, that come in many colours, including yellow, orange, cream, pink, white, and purple.
"Xerochrysum bracteatum, commonly known as the golden everlasting or strawflower, is a flowering plant in the family Asteraceae native to Australia." From Wikipedia.
