Xeranthemum Annuum is a beautiful flower that is commonly known as the everlasting flower due to its ability to maintain its shape and beauty even after being cut and dried. This popular flower has a number of synonyms which include the paper daisy, silver bells, immortelle and strawflower. The paper daisy name is derived from the fact that the flower head resembles a small, white paper disk, while the silver bells name is due to the silver-white coloring of the plant. The immortelle name is based on the flower's ability to last long after picking and the strawflower name describes the long-lasting nature of the flower as it is perceived as tough as a straw. All these names are commonly used to refer to the Xeranthemum Annuum and its various varieties.
