Turquoise

This giant flower grows up to 7.8 feet (2.4 meters) tall. Its yellow-green stem is thick and straight, and the tiny, orange leaves are needle-like with toothed edges. Many leaves grow at the base of the stem, and more leaves grow in pairs along the length of the stem.

A single medium-sized flower sits at the end of each stem. The flowers are 140 cm (55.1 inches) wide, with solid turquoise petals decorated with brown dots and a subtle red central disk. The flower head is made up of many petals; the lower layer of petals are flat, while the upper layers form a tight cup. They detach easily.

It has a scent whose strength depends on external factors, such as soil quality and rain frequency that smells like marzipan, and it has very little pollen. It is pollinated by the wind, but is also visited by a small species of bird.
