Caramel Sunflower

This short flower grows up to 4 inches (10 cm) tall. Its emerald stem is thick, and the tiny, green leaves are spear shaped with wavy edges. A pair of leaves grow at the base of the flower head.

Two medium-sized flowers sit at the end of the stem. The flowers are 2 cm (0.8 inches) wide, with caramel petals that gradient shift to light grey on the outer edge. The central disk is yellow. The flower head is largely flat with 55 widely spaced round-tipped petals. They detach easily.

It has a faint scent that smells like cheese, and it has copious amounts of pollen; it does not cause many allergic reactions. It is a self-pollinator.
