User's notes

These plants are everywhere in this region of Mt Ainslie. Some are in massive clusters, numbering in the hundreds, whereas some are found in much smaller clusters of 3 - 20. These photos are from only one medium-sized cluster that I saw. If you have never seen or touched these plants before, know that they feel extremely fake, almost as if they're made of plastic. Another common name for them is paper daisy. Another fitting name would be Truman Daisies.
