Lime Green Petal

Flower type: Annual (Stores water in its leaves)

This short flower grows up to 3 inches (8 cm) tall. Its lime green stems grow from the base of the plant in bunches of 3 and are thick and straight, and split into several branching stems halfway up, and the small, pink-red leaves are stiff, pointed with ripped edges. Many leaves grow at the base of the stem, and more leaves grow in pairs along the length of the stem.

A single small flower sits at the end of the stem. The flowers are 12 cm (4.7 inches) wide, with petals that are generally green; each flower tends to be a variation of this colour. The flower head is made up of 32 petals; the lower layer of petals are flat, while the upper layers form a tight cup. They are sturdy.
