Burgundy Sickleflower

This small flower grows up to 4 inches (10 cm) tall. Its burgundy stem is thin and straight with a curved tip, and the miniature, moss green leaves are sickle shaped with tattered edges. Many leaves grow at the base of the stem, and more leaves alternate on the stem from about halfway up, up to the flower head.

Two small flowers sit at the end of each stem. The flowers are 4 cm (1.6 inches) wide, with petals that are either aquamarine or gold, with a yellow center. The flower head is made up of many petals in raised layers. They are hardy.

It has a scent whose strength depends on external factors, such as soil quality and rain frequency that smells like a damp log, and it has lots of pollen; it can can cause allergic reactions. It is pollinated by insects and is particularly attractive to a specific species.
