Copperflower

This small flower grows up to 6 inches (15 cm) tall. Its copper stem is very thick, and the giant, burgundy leaves are stiff, pointed with jagged edges. The leaves grow in pairs along the length of the stem.

Two small flowers sit at the end of the stem. The flowers are 3 cm (1.2 inches) wide, with alternating petals of sky blue and pink, with a turquoise central disk. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 50 petals. They are sturdy.

It has a mildly strong scent that smells like mint, and it has lots of pollen. It is pollinated by insects , but is also visited by a small species of bird.
