Aquaflare Lotus

This huge flower grows up to 12.3 feet (3.8 meters) tall. Its orange stems grow in bunches of 3 and are thin and straight, and the small, pink-red leaves are V-shaped with irregular edges. A pair of leaves grow at the base of the stem.

4 to 6 small flowers grow on alternate sides up the length of the stem. The flowers are 80 cm (31.5 inches) wide, with turquoise petals and a sky blue central disk. The flower head is made up of several petals; the lower layer of petals are flat, while the upper layers form a tight dish. They are sturdy.

It has no scent, and it has very little pollen; it can cause severe allergic reactions. It is pollinated by the wind, but is also visited by one species of insect in particular.
