Copperflower

This short flower grows up to 5 inches (13 cm) tall. Its copper stems grow in bunches of 7 and are thin with a curved tip, and the miniature, pink-red leaves are fan-like with rounded edges. 27 leaves grow at the base of the stem.

Each stem splits 5 to 9 times; a single small flower grows at the end of each split. The flowers are 7 cm (2.8 inches) wide, with solid grey petals decorated with pink lines and a purple central disk. The flower head is shaped like a dish made up of 20 widely spaced, narrow petals. They detach easily.

It has an overpowering scent that smells like a man, and it has an average amount of pollen; it does not cause any allergic reactions. It is pollinated by the wind and is ignored by most insect species.
