Copper

This average-sized flower grows up to 1.4 feet (43 cm) tall. Its red stem is very thick, and the small, pink-red leaves are broad, flat with smooth edges. A pair of leaves grow at the base of the flower head.

4 to 7 giant flowers grow on alternate sides up the length of the stem. The flowers are 10 cm (3.9 inches) wide, with petals that are copper at the sides and pink at the center. The flower head is made up of 39 petals; the lower layer of petals are flat, while the upper layers form a tight sphere. They fall easily.

It has an intensely strong scent that smells like rotten egg, and it has very little pollen, but can cause severe allergic reactions. It is pollinated by a small species of bird, but is also visited by a variety of insects.
