Swamp everlasting

Swamp everlasting (not in flower) on display outside Melbourne Town Hall.

On 20 February this year, the City of Melbourne announced that the swamp everlasting (Xerochrysum palustre) would be the city's new floral emblem.

The swamp everlasting's original distribution within the municipality would have been in and around the West Melbourne Swamp. The everlasting swamp. Right now, however, this little golden paper daisy is critically endangered and not know to occur in our swamp.

If you happen to see a swamp everlasting in the everlasting swamp, please let us and the authorities know.
