For letter E, I am sharing a picture of everlasting, which is also called Paper Daisy or Straw Flower. Here in the Philippines, it is called everlasting because even if the flower has already wilted, it still looks the same... well, the old ones were slightly brownish in color. Because of its very long life, this flower is often used as offering to religious statuettes.
This flower is also the symbol of Baguio City, where I took this picture March 2009.

That is absolutely gorgeous Jenn! What a great flower. I wish the flowers I bought for my kitchen table would be everlasting. They die so quickly!
Lovely picture and custom. Hi, I'm new in town. My E is in a 50 word story called The Prince of Darkness is a gentleman
I like the name everlasting better than what we've always used: straw flowers. They are so beautiful with all colors of the rainbow. Very nice E.
Beautiful photo - fascinating flower - everlasting is a good word, I think!
