The only plant with red flowers that I could see. Surrounded by others of its kind with the typical yellow flowers. Some kind of morph maybe?

A rarely encountered mutation. Xerochrysum viscosum very occasionally occurs as an orange, bronze or even red mutation.

Yes thanks Rainer, a great point to be aware of, also occurs within X. bracteatum. There are quite a few more examples of the local X. viscosum in an orange form on the species page, e.g. : Xerochrysum viscosum (Sticky Everlasting)

The commonly planted annual Everlasting Daisies you can buy in nurseries or in seed packets are cultivars of our Xerochrysum bracteatum. They come in every colour between pale cream and pink through to orange, red, and even purple, and of course white. They were developed in Germany from Australian material, and, I was told by the late Dave Mallinson, using genetic material from related South African species. Garden cultivars developed (i.e., selected) from chance mutations.
