Common name - Everlasting Daisy.  A West Australian native plant. It has paper-like flowers and is used a lot in dried flower arrangements. Likes a sunny position in warm, dry, well drained sandy soil. This picture in our garden bordering the road, (the only suitable spot we can find where the rabbits won't find it).
