Caramel

Flower type: Biennial (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)

This short flower grows up to 1 inch (3 cm) tall. Its brown stem is very thick and straight with a curved tip, and the tiny, dark brown leaves are dark muted blue or green on the underside and are asymmetrical with tattered edges. The leaves grow in pairs along the length of the stem.

Dozens of tiny flowers grow in a bunch at the end of the stem. The flowers are 5 cm (2.0 inches) wide, with alternating petals of caramel and pale orange, with a pink central disk. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 40 curved petals. They are sturdy.

It has a scent that varies in strength that smells like pot-purri, and it has a fair amount of pollen; it can cause allergic reactions. It is a self-pollinator.


It is suitable for creating strong, durable textiles
