Crimson Flower

This large flower grows up to 6.1 feet (1.9 meters) tall. Its crimson stem is wispy, and the tiny, bronze and beige leaves are slender, pointed with jagged edges. Many leaves grow along the entire length of the stem.

Two small flowers sit at the end of the stem. The flowers are 57 cm (22.4 inches) wide, with each petal a slightly different shade of silver. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 45 petals. They are hardy.

It has a strong scent that smells like glue, and it has copious amounts of pollen; it does not cause many allergic reactions. It is a self-pollinator.
