Copperflower

This modest-sized flower grows up to 1.6 feet (48 cm) tall. Its yellow-green stems grow in bunches of 7 and are wispy and straight, and the giant, gold leaves are broad, flat with jagged edges. A pair of leaves grow at the base of the flower head.

Each stem splits 4 to 7 times; a single medium-sized flower grows at the end of each split. The flowers are 9 cm (3.5 inches) wide, with petals that are red at the sides and copper at the center. The flower head is made up of dozens of petals; the lower layer of petals are flat, while the upper layers form a tight dish. They are hardy.

It has a scent whose strength depends on external factors, such as soil quality and rain frequency that smells like a damp log, and it has lots of pollen. It is pollinated by insects and is visited by a large variety of them.
