Copperflower

This huge flower grows up to 15.2 feet (4.6 meters) tall. Its emerald stem is very thick, and the huge, copper leaves are wispy with serrated edges. A pair of leaves grow at the base of the stem.

Each stem splits 4 to 7 times; a single large flower grows at the end of each split. The flowers are 34 cm (13.4 inches) wide, with aquamarine petals that gradient shift to cyan on the outer edge. The central disk is gentle red. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 36 curved petals. They are hardy.

It has an intensely strong scent that smells like a woman, and it has a fair amount of pollen. It is pollinated by a small species of bird, but is also particularly attractive to bees.
