Copperbell

This short flower grows up to 2 inches (5 cm) tall. Its copper stem is wispy and straight with a curved tip, and the miniature, yellow-green leaves are slender, pointed with jagged edges. Many leaves grow along the entire length of the stem.

A single large flower sits at the end of each stem. The flowers are 4 cm (1.6 inches) wide, with muted purple petals and a yellow center. The flower head is largely flat with dozens of widely spaced narrow petals. They detach easily.

It has a strong scent that smells like mango, and it has excessive amounts of pollen; it can can cause allergic reactions. It is pollinated by insects and is particularly attractive to a specific species.
