Rhodanthe antemoides has outer brown bracts. I cannot see any brown on the flower heads.

Thanks Betty - they don't seem to have the yellow of lemon beauty heads either.

I thought they might have been over-exposed. Unfortunately, while the leaves are in good focus when blown up, the flower heads are very blurry.

From memory they were white. I've added the only other photo I have, though I'm not sure it adds much.

I have had another look at blown up parts of photo 1. On second thoughts, apart from the flower heads being the wrong colour for Calocephalud citreus, the leaves are scattered. They are mostly opposite each other in Calocephalus citreus.
A few of the flower heads have a suggestion of a couple of narrow darker bracts at the base, so it might be Rhodanthe anthemoides in bud.
Good closeups of a flower head and part of a stem including a few whole leaves would have helped in ID.
