Chocolate Daisy

This average-sized flower grows up to 10 inches (25 cm) tall. Its gray-green stem is thin, and the small, burgundy leaves are thick with toothed edges. Many leaves grow along the entire length of the stem.

6 to 12 medium-sized flowers grow on alternate sides up the length of the stem. The flowers are 29 cm (11.4 inches) wide, with petals that are either light blue or dark brown, with a yellow center. The flower head is shaped like a bowl with 58 tightly layered, round-tipped petals. They fall easily.

It has a delicate scent that smells like chocolate, and it has excessive amounts of pollen,but it does not cause many allergic reactions. It is a self-pollinator, but is also visited by one species of insect in particular.
