Craspedia globosa, commonly known as billy buttons, is a perennial plant with pretty yellow flowers. The plant is native to Australia and New Zealand. In warm climates, the plant blooms all year around. Billy buttons are round, small, lovely, and durable and are commonly dried.

Check out these photos of billy buttons taken at the Beijing Botanical Garden. The flowers, with their unique and eye-catching shape, add elegance to the sunny garden located on the northwestern outskirts of the Chinese capital.
