There are no photos showing (or comments mentioning) the nummber of bracts just below the flower heads, the hairy edges of the bracts, a hairless stem, or a the colour of couple of leaves. Apart from the flower heads, these are the characters needed when identifying photos of Pimelea as Pimelea glauca.

Yep. I can get those. Busy photo on way to work. Will get more helpful shot.

Hi Betty & Don & Michael. More pics attached. I have others but was limited in upload. Inner parts of bracts hairy to 6mm, outer bare. Hairy pedicels. In my view glauca as I know this plant in the area. Agreed?
