Copper Heart Flower

This small flower grows up to 5 inches (13 cm) tall. Its emerald stem is thin and straight, and the small, violet leaves are white on the underside and are very thick with jagged edges. A pair of leaves grow at the base of the stem.

1 to 3 small flowers grow on alternate sides up the length of the stem. The flowers are 9 cm (3.5 inches) wide, with alternating petals of copper and sky blue, with an aquamarine central disk. The flower head is shaped like a heart made up of 19 tightly layered, narrow petals. They are sturdy.

It has a strong scent that smells like soap, and it has very little pollen; it can cause allergic reactions. It is a self-pollinator.
