Copperwhorl Blossom

This small flower grows up to 2 inches (5 cm) tall. Its orange stems grow in bunches of 4 and are wispy and straight, and the tiny, orange leaves are 8 pointed with smooth edges. A pair of leaves grow at the base of the stem.

Each stem splits 3 to 9 times; a single giant flower grows at the end of each split. The flowers are 2 cm (0.8 inches) wide, with petals that are grey on the edges and copper at the center. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 19 curved petals. They are sturdy.

It has a mildly strong scent that smells like lavender, and it has excessive amounts of pollen; it can cause severe allergic reactions. It is pollinated by a small species of bird.
