Description

When the flowers of Limonium peregrinum pass their prime, withering initially entails colour loss and assuming a papery texture, not the crumpling of the corollas. These pale, ghost-like flower have-beens in picture linger, whitish with skinny brown stars indicating petal midribs.

The brown of the last phase matches the overriding calyx colour, coming in view once shrivelling eventually demolishes the corolla's spread (Manning, 2007; Leistner, (Ed.), 2000; Manning and Goldblatt, 1996; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; iNaturalist).
