Unusual orange variant. Among all the yellow flowers there was this one patch of orange.

This looks like an exotic. Without in focus photos of the whole plants and of some leaves, I cannot begin to ID it.

Hi Betty
Louisa is familiar with Xerochrysum viscosum and i think she correctly id-ed this as orange variety of the species. The orange coloured X. viscosum variety has been reported a couple of times on Mt Majura and I've observed it several times at various sites.
