Blue Spiralvine

This short flower grows up to 5 inches (13 cm) tall. Its gray stems grow from the base of the plant in bunches of 4 and are thin and straight, and split into several branching stems at the top, and the large, green leaves are grey on the underside and are oblong with toothed edges. 4 leaves grow at the base of the stem.

2 to 4 large flowers grow on alternate sides up the length of the stem. The flowers are 6 cm (2.4 inches) wide, with petals that are either brown or blue, with a yellow center. The flower head is largely flat with many widely spaced narrow petals. They detach easily.

It has a delicate scent that smells like warm milk, and it has very little pollen. It is pollinated by insects and is visited by a large variety of them.
