Ashy Blue

This modest-sized flower grows up to 1.2 feet (36 cm) tall. Its yellow-green stems grow in bunches of 5 and are very thin with a curved tip, and the huge, orange-yellow leaves are long, narrow with smooth edges. The leaves alternate on the stem from the base up to about halfway.

Each stem splits 3 to 9 times; a single small flower grows at the end of each split. The flowers are 28 cm (11.0 inches) wide, with ashy blue petals and a yellow center. The flower head is shaped like a dish made up of 16 raised, narrow petals. They fall easily.

It has a weak scent that smells like coffee, and it has an average amount of pollen; it does not cause any allergic reactions. It is a self-pollinator.
