Copperpetal

This short flower grows up to 3 inches (8 cm) tall. Its bright red stem is very thin, and the large, green leaves are white on the underside and are needle-like with smooth edges. The leaves alternate on the stem from the base up to about halfway.

Each stem splits 5 to 7 times; a single small flower grows at the end of each split. The flowers are 6 cm (2.4 inches) wide, with petals that are turquoise at the sides and copper at the center. The flower head is shaped like a sphere with 58 raised, round-tipped petals. They are very delicate.

It has an intensely strong scent that smells like a man, and it has lots of pollen. It is pollinated by the wind.
