Firebloom

This short flower grows up to 3 inches (8 cm) tall. Its moss green stems grow in bunches of 8 and are thin and straight, and the giant, orange-yellow and gray-green leaves are very narrow and elongated with toothed edges. The leaves grow from the base and are the same length as the stem.

Each stem splits 2 to 7 times; a single large flower grows at the end of each split. The flowers are 1 cm (0.4 inches) wide, with petals that are bronze on the edges and olive at the center. The flower head is largely flat with many raised narrow petals. They fall easily.

It has a strong scent that smells like new books, and it has a fair amount of pollen. It is pollinated by insects , but only one species in particular.
