craspedia: simply graphic

We’ve decided on a focal color for our living room! Since we are planning to eventually grab a Room and Board couch in a yummy charcoal grey, what better color to accent with than yellow! (I know, I did the mood board… Things have changed a bit!)

One of the ways I plan to accent in yellow is with the fantastically graphic plant known as Craspedia. Craspedia, also known as Billy Buttons and Woollyheads, is part of the daisy family. While they are indigenous to Australia and New Zealand, they can be grown in most areas. But once dried, boy, are they a gorgeous little decorating accessory!

I’ve ordered up a batch of them on Etsy, and can’t wait to add fun punches of yellow all around our space! In the mean time, here are some lovely images featuring the bulbous bud.

What do you think of them? Aren’t they adorable? Would you use them in your house, or are you already?
