Crimson Trumpetvine

This average-sized flower grows up to 1.0 foot (30 cm) tall. Its pink-red stem is very thin, and the small, orange-yellow leaves are wispy with ripped edges. A pair of leaves grow at the base of the flower head.

5 to 10 medium-sized flowers grow on alternate sides up the length of the stem. The flowers are 4 cm (1.6 inches) wide, with petals that are crimson on the edges and crimson at the center. The flower head is shaped like a trumpet with 48 raised, narrow petals. They fall easily.

It has a faint scent that smells like freshly baked bread, and it has an average amount of pollen; it can cause severe allergic reactions. It is a self-pollinator, but is also visited by one species of insect in particular.
