Burgundy Thunderflower

This small flower grows up to 5 inches (13 cm) tall. Its gray-green stem is wispy and splits into dozens of branching stems at the base, and the large, burgundy leaves are very thin with ripped edges. A pair of leaves grow at the base of the flower head.

Around 50 large flowers grow in a bunch at the end of the stem. The flowers are 4 cm (1.6 inches) wide, with purple petals and an olive central disk. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 30 curved petals. They fall easily.

It has a powerful scent that smells like apple, and it has very little pollen. It is pollinated by the wind.
