Bluebell

Flower type: Annual (Grows upwards by clinging to almost any surface.)

This modest-sized flower grows up to 1.3 feet (38 cm) tall. Its lime green stem is thick, and the small, sky blue leaves are broad, flat with serrated edges. A pair of leaves grow at the base of the flower head.

Each stem splits 5 to 9 times; a single small flower grows at the end of each split. The flowers are 6 cm (2.4 inches) wide, with solid cream petals decorated with ashy red dots and a olive central disk. The flower head is made up of dozens of petals in raised layers. They are hardy.

It has a delicate scent that smells like sweat, and it has lots of pollen, but it does not cause any allergic reactions. It is pollinated by insects and is particularly attractive to bees.

It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
All of it is said to be part of one single, massive plant.
