Magenta

This small flower grows up to 3 inches (8 cm) tall. Its slate and silver stems grow from the base of the plant in bunches of 4 and are thick and straight, and split into numerous branching stems three quarters of the way up, and the small, slate and silver leaves are long, tapering with rounded edges. Many leaves grow along the entire length of the stem.

Two large flowers sit at the end of the stem. The flowers are 15 cm (5.9 inches) wide, with petals that are generally magenta; each flower tends to be a variation of this colour. The flower head is made up of dozens of petals in raised layers. They are sturdy.

It has a weak scent that smells like warm milk, and it has lots of pollen. It is pollinated by insects and is enjoyed by several specific types of insect.
