Are these Helichrysum "Straw Flowers" or "Everlasting Flowers" perhaps?

Definately Straw Flowers!

Many thanx for giving me an idea for planting around our scarecrow, Jackie!

These would look great by the scarecrow David, Another though would be Purple Majesty ( Millet ), It's an annual, but what a contrast that would make! Just a thought!

What a great suggestion, Jackie - and I know where to get some, too! Do you think that the millet would ATTRACT birds, rather than scare them, which is what I would really like? That would be fun. Failing this, I could buy budgerigar millet seed stems at the pet store and have them protruding from the scarecrow. Imagine - a scarecrow who can't even scare birds, just like the story/movie, and a great photo opportunity. The kids would love that. Many, many thanx for that!
