I captured these beauties in a little park in Napier. I have never seen them before, but they remind me of cotton candy candy floss. If you know their name, I do hope you let me know.
*edit* Thanks to Donna over at Gardens Eye View, this is a Joey flower. Upon further research, it's a native to Australia and very heat resistant and they call it Mulla Mulla. Thanks so much, Donna!!
They do so look like fairy floss - so soft and fluffy. Lovely photo.
