Aquamarine Spiralvine

This average-sized flower grows up to 1.3 feet (41 cm) tall. Its moss green stem is thick and straight, and the huge, moss green leaves are heart-shaped with smooth edges. The leaves alternate on the stem from the base up to about halfway.

Each stem splits 3 to 7 times; a single small flower grows at the end of each split. The flowers are 46 cm (18.1 inches) wide, with petals that are aquamarine in the center, peach in the middle and peach at the edges. The flower head is largely flat with 56 tightly layered narrow petals. They are very delicate.

It has an overpowering scent that smells like cheese, and it has very little pollen. It is a self-pollinator, but is also particularly attractive to insects.
