I panicked a little on this weeks ABC Wednesday letter -- E! What in the world would I post for E? Then I remembered the meadow of Pearly Everlasting that I was wandering through two weekends ago and thought it would be perfect. The flowers and stems can be dried and used in decorations. I just think it is simple and pretty alone.

Everlasting

excellent~ enjoyed it.
Of course I love your photos of Oregon, too! And it will always be my favorite place! These are beautiful and perfect for the E Day! Have a great week!

I have never heard of this flower before. What a perfect choice for E. I like that they can be dried and used later.
The same thing with me, I can't think of E to post, all of a sudden I saw a billboad...anyways, have an enjoyable day!
Wow! white everlasting flowers. My first to see them. I always see the brown-orange ones! Loved that word "everlasting" for letter E.
Happy mid-week! Blessings!
Beautiful! Pearly Everlasting is a wonderful name for this pretty flower.
Those are beautiful everlasting flowers. Great take on the letter E.
This reminds me of my old herbarium at school. Nice.
So this is the fresh Everlasting look like, in the Philippine people used to dry this and make it a garland. It's pretty!
ABC Wednesday~E
They are indeed very beautiful :) very nice E this..
My ABC W E
Not familiar with this flower. EXCELLENT choice.
On behalf of the ABC WEdnesday team, thank you for participating!
Very beautiful blog. I've been fortunate to have visited Oregon two years in a row for almost three weeks each. Of course I fell in love with it. We rented for a week right on the ocean (amazing) but also spent happy days in the Mosier area and to the east in the desert. You have SO MUCH there!
You didn't need to panic at all...this is perfect! :D
What a pretty flower! Do they grow wild?
I love those flowers. My dad used to grow them in teh garden for mum to make flower arrangements with.
ever lasting flowers...
very stunning!
They look like Star bursts!
Beautiful! I never heard of this one-unless it is otherwise known as a straw flower? Exquisite, nonetheless!
Lovely flowers, super photo!
Just gorgeous. They stand alone just fine.
I am not familiar with this flower, but nevertheless it is a lovely little thing.
What a combination! Beauty and usefulness (everlastibf)! A great shot.
I love these - great E post and fantastic photo!
So pretty! I think I've seen those dried flowers being sold here some time back.
o I never know until now that everlasting are white before they turn yellow... interesting.
My ABC Wednesday here
I've never seen these flowers, but what a beautiful name and photo...Ty for a little "everlasting" : )
wow...this is my first time to see white Everlasting...we have here but only yellow..
i love it, more beautiful than the yellow one.
Do these grow wild near you? That's such a surprise to me! We can grow statice and another one whose name I don't know but which looks rather like your pearly white ones. We just call them 'everlasting flowers' ...
I always thought they were delicate, difficult to grow, garden plants, but of course, they must grow wild somewhere!! Silly me.
Lovely picture, and now I'm imagining the rustling sound they must make when you walk through a meadow of them.
lovely pictures... refreshes the mind!!!
