Crimson Trumpet

This big flower grows up to 2.9 feet (89 cm) tall. Its orange stem is very thin, and the tiny, emerald leaves are dark pink-red on the underside and are perforated with rounded edges. 22 leaves grow at the base of the stem.

Each stem splits 6 to 11 times; a single giant flower grows at the end of each split. The flowers are 74 cm (29.1 inches) wide, with blood red petals and a light orange central disk. The flower head is made up of many petals; the lower layer of petals are flat, while the upper layers form a tight trumpet. They are hardy.

It has a strong scent that smells like a woman, and it has copious amounts of pollen; it does not cause many allergic reactions. It is pollinated by insects and is particularly attractive to a specific species.
