First Images Helichrysum baxterii and Helichrysum rutidolepis
I'm just back from Tasmania sorting through and trying to identify all the pictures I took. At right is Helichrysum baxterii in cultivation at a Native Plant Nursery part way up Mount Wellington, which overlooks the Southern City of Hobart. Beautiful plants. The picture below shows a very similar species, Helichrysum rutidolepis, a Tasmanian endemic in habitat near the top of Mount Wellington, in a dolerite boulder rock garden. This was very much a drive a mile stop and photograph, check the sky to make sure it wouldn't rain for a few minutes and repeat and repeat.
