Vinebloom

This large flower grows up to 7.0 feet (2.1 meters) tall. Its emerald stem is thin, and the small, yellow-green leaves are kidney-shaped with rounded edges. The leaves alternate on the stem.

Two medium-sized flowers sit at the end of the stem. The flowers are 19 cm (7.5 inches) wide, with solid drab blue petals decorated with lilac lines and a violet central disk. The flower head is largely flat with 37 raised narrow petals. They detach easily.

It has a strong scent that smells like rainy days, and it has very little pollen; it does not cause many allergic reactions. It is pollinated by the wind, but is also visited by some specific types of insect.
