Redstar Ashflower

This giant flower grows up to 10.8 feet (3.3 meters) tall. Its red stems grow from the base of the plant in bunches of 6 and are thin and straight, and split into dozens of branching stems at the top, and the small, olive leaves are 8 pointed with ripped edges. Many leaves grow along the entire length of the stem.

2 to 7 tiny flowers grow on alternate sides up the length of the stem. The flowers are 127 cm (50.0 inches) wide, with petals that are amber in the center, olive in the middle and black at the edges. The flower head is shaped like a star made up of 14 tightly layered, round-tipped petals. They detach easily.

It has a weak scent that smells like ashes, and it has lots of pollen; it does not cause any allergic reactions. It is pollinated by a small species of bird.
