Copperclimb

This modest-sized flower grows up to 10 inches (25 cm) tall. Its copper stem is very thin and splits into 6 branching stems halfway up, and the small, gray-green leaves are stiff, pointed with smooth edges. Many leaves grow along the entire length of the stem.

Two giant flowers sit at the end of the stem. The flowers are 9 cm (3.5 inches) wide, with alternating petals of sky blue and amber, with a lilac central disk. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 50 petals. They are hardy.

It has an intense scent that smells like skunk spray, and it has very little pollen. It is a self-pollinator, but is also particularly attractive to insects.
