Lilac

Flower type: Biennial (Grows upwards by winding itself around other objects and plants.)

This modest-sized flower grows up to 11 inches (28 cm) tall. Its brown stem is very thin and splits into 10 branching stems a quarter of the way up, and the huge, green leaves are long, tapering with jagged edges. The leaves alternate on the stem.

A single medium-sized flower sits at the end of each stem. The flowers are 6 cm (2.4 inches) wide, with petals that are lilac on the edges and green at the center. The flower head is made up of handfuls of petals; the lower layer of petals are flat, while the upper layers form a tight trumpet. They are hardy.

It has a strong scent that smells like a newborn baby, and it has excessive amounts of pollen. It is pollinated by insects and is particularly attractive to a specific species.

The leaves are very toxic, and very sweet.
