Waterleaf

This small shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 115 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has many stocky, straight stems covered in paper-thin, wrinkled, light brown bark, and the wood inside is pale brown.

The branches are short stubs that and are covered with sparse amounts of large, fan-like, leaves with ripped edges. The leaves themselves are found in florescent orange, yellow and slate varieties, rigid and waxy.

In late summer it produces many small, turquoise flowers with kidney-shaped petals with a trumpet-shaped floral cup. They detach easily and have a soft scent that smells like pepper.
