Searching for a Heart of Gold

This is one of my Sundaze Golden Yellow (bracteantha bracteata) also called Strawflower. I let one of the blooms go to seed for photographic purposes but imagine my surprise when I looked throught the viewfinder and saw a heart.

There are hearts everywhere. If you don't believe visit Clytie's Guest Heart Thursday at Random Hearts.
