Copper Mossflower

This average-sized flower grows up to 1.0 foot (30 cm) tall. Its copper and pastel green stems grow in bunches of 8 and are wispy with a curved tip, and the giant, moss green leaves are wide with rounded edges. Many leaves grow at the base of the stem, and a pair of leaves grow at the base of the flower head.

Two small flowers sit at the end of each stem. The flowers are 20 cm (7.9 inches) wide, with solid turquoise petals decorated with washed-out green dots and a sky blue central disk. The flower head is made up of handfuls of petals; the lower layer of petals are flat, while the upper layers form a tight cup. They are very delicate.

It has a scent that varies in strength that smells like a damp log, and it has copious amounts of pollen; it can can cause allergic reactions. It is pollinated by a small species of bird.
