Ambervine

Flower type: Biennial (Grows upwards by winding itself around other objects and plants.)

This short flower grows up to 2 inches (5 cm) tall. Its amber stem is thin and straight with a curved tip, and the miniature, orange-yellow leaves are slender, pointed with rounded edges. The leaves grow from the base and are the same length as the stem.

3 to 7 tiny flowers grow on alternate sides up the length of the stem. The flowers are 9 cm (3.5 inches) wide, with petals that are either silver or green, with a yellow center. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 20 curved petals. They are hardy.

It has a powerful scent that smells like wet dog, and it has very little pollen. It is pollinated by the wind.

It absorbs an exceptionally large amount of water each day.
It is suitable for use as a construction material
The colour changes depends on whether the soil is acidic or alkaline.
