Cyanflower

This modest-sized flower grows up to 11 inches (28 cm) tall. Its orange-yellow stems grow in bunches of 5 and are very thin and straight, and the huge, copper leaves are dark emerald on the underside and are very thick with toothed edges. 17 leaves grow at the base of the stem.

Dozens of giant flowers grow in bunches along the stem. The flowers are 6 cm (2.4 inches) wide, with solid cyan petals decorated with lilac dots and a brown central disk. The flower head is shaped like a bowl made up of many tightly layered, round-tipped petals. They are sturdy.

It has an overpowering scent that smells like bleach, and it has an average amount of pollen. It is pollinated by the wind, but is also particularly attractive to bees.
