Lilac

This enormous flower grows up to 15.8 feet (4.8 meters) tall. Its gray stem is very thin and splits into dozens of branching stems at the top, and the huge, burgundy leaves are stiff, pointed with smooth edges. The leaves alternate on the stem.

2 to 7 small flowers grow on alternate sides up the length of the stem. The flowers are 31 cm (12.2 inches) wide, with solid lilac petals decorated with white dots and a silver central disk. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 60 curved petals. They fall easily.

It has a scent that varies in strength that smells like new carpet, and it has very little pollen; it does not cause many allergic reactions. It is pollinated by insects and is particularly attractive to butterflies.
