@maddieinthemaking: Strawflowers are given their name because of their petal’s texture that is almost dried and paper-like! They’re great as cut flowers, or as dried flowers and can last many years when dried! I sowed my seeds back in February/March and have been patiently waiting for this day - to see the first one open! I have so many more ready to go, but for now I’ll celebrate this one 💕 #gardening #growyourown #flowergarden #cutflowers #beginnergarden
