Caramel

This big flower grows up to 2.9 feet (89 cm) tall. Its gray-green stem is wispy, and the giant, orange-yellow leaves are grey on the underside and are very thick with toothed edges. Many leaves grow at the base of the stem, and more leaves alternate on the stem from about halfway up, up to the flower head.

5 to 8 medium-sized flowers grow on alternate sides up the length of the stem. The flowers are 67 cm (26.4 inches) wide, with alternating petals of dull red and caramel, with a cream central disk. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 40 petals. They are very delicate.

It has a faint scent that smells like rotting meat, and it has very little pollen; it can cause severe allergic reactions. It is pollinated by the wind, but is also visited by a variety of insects.
